Rose Of Alabam

Em G Em G Em G It's a good thing there's a canopy up over my bed D C So lightnin' from above can't see to strike me dead Em I crave it like a hummin' bird G Then I'm wanted like a dove D 'Cause forbidden fruit tastes sweetest C When it comes disguised as love D The petals of my daisy hit the floor one by one C Her roots are bound in Georgia ground G But something's blocking out her sun D The stalk don't grow to heaven C And the leaves left me behind G D I've fallen for a flower in a garden west of mine Em G My rose of Alabam Em G My rose of Alabam Em G I should give that Southern belle a ring D But nature's took her toe C I placed Rosie's thorn in my own sack C Just to fill an empty hole Em I love the land she stems from G And the seed from which she grows D C So I gave up on my daisy for the fragrance of a rose D The petals of my daisy hit the floor one by one C Her roots are bound in Georgia ground G But something's blocking out her sun D The stalk don't grow to heaven C And the leaves left me behind G D I've fallen for a flower in a garden west of mine Em G My rose of Alabam Em G My rose of Alabam Em G D C 4x Em G My rose (My rose) Em G My rose (My rose) Em G My rose (My rose) Em G My rose (My, my)
