Intro: G D C G
G               D          C                   G
You looked real calm as we made our way up the walk

G               D       C                  G

G            D     G                    C

CHORUS:
        G     D       G
and the stars fell on alabama

         D                   G

              D       G      C     G    D    G

G         C

         G       D
and your pistol      (glistened)

        G     D       G
and the stars fell on alabama

         D                   G
and your eyes filled up with lightning

              D       G      C
and the stars fell on alaba- ma

                             G                      D              G
but if you think I'll take a bullet for you, you're dreaming!
