You looked real calm as we made our way up the walk

F               F       F                  F

F            F     F                    F

CHORUS:
        F     F       F
and the stars fell on alabama

         F                   F

              F       F      F     F    F    F

         F       F
and your pistol      (glistened)

        F     F       F
and the stars fell on alabama

         F                   F
and your eyes filled up with lightning

              F       F      F
and the stars fell on alaba- ma

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