Intro: D C D C D C
 
D7                     C
Virgil Spencer's got a nineteen-inch Hitachi
D7               C
And many demons lingering
D7                       C7
Friday night he pulled a gun to change the channel
D7                           C
Something that he picked up from the King
    C9                              D
His wife remembers well the man she knew
C9                            Bm7
Seems the dreams she had have all turned black and blue
      Am7    G(add2)
She's wasted years
   F        Em7
No time for tears
 
              D       Am7          G/C     D
Cause there's another chance and a someday soon
 Am7              Cmaj7     D
Shining like the Alabama - moon
              Am7     G/C      D
She's looking for her promised land
    Am7                    D7  C
Out beyond the lights of
       D7    C
Birmingham
 
D7                             C
It's three a.m. and Virgil's passed out on the sofa
D                     C
A fifth of Jim Beam on the floor
D7                               C
She's packed a bag she slips the keys out of his pocket
D                    C
She's careful not to slam the door
    C9                         D
And as she drives she rubs her rosary
      C9                            Bm7
She's never been so all alone she's never felt so free
          Am7      G(add2)
She's got miles to go
      F         Em7
Blind faith and hope
              D       Am7          G/C     D
Cause there's another chance and a someday soon
        Am7      Cmaj7     D
Shining like the Alabama - moon
              Am7     G/C      D
She's looking for her promised land
    Am7                    D7 C
Out beyond the lights of
       D7  C  D7  C  D7  C
Birmingham
 
            C9                          D
As the rain falls down upon the inter - state
C9                     Bm7
Any doubts she had are all but washed away
    Am7       G(add2)
One long look back
F            Em7
At Birming - ham
              D       Am7          C       D
Cause there's another chance and a someday soon
        Am7         Cmaj7  D
Shining like the Alabama - moon
              Am7     C        D
She's looking for her promised land
    Am7                    D7  C
Out beyond the lights of
       D7    C   D7   C  D7  C
