D G
I just had to show 'em I didn't need 'em
D A
And so I headed out West to see some old friends of mine
D G
I thought if I'd climb up Ole Ajax mountain
D A D
Maybe that would help me get it all off my mind
I made it up to the top, picked out a clear spot
I thought a whole lot about the rest of my life
I had no idea then soon it would nearly end
Up on this mountain side I would nearly die
Chorus:
G G/F# Em A D
And they're a-a-a-l-l-l in Alabama
G G/F# Em A D
And they're a-a-a-l-l-l in Dixieland
G G/F# Em A D Bm
God I'm dying here in Montana, please Lord
D A D
I just wanna go back to hold her hand
D A D
Just let me get back to my old homeland
They said I'd never sing again
I learned alot about my friends
'Cause when you're shot down and out
You don't get many calls
But I saw some tears in some eyes
Soon my poor old mother would die
I nearly lost it all
When I lost my grandpa
Chorus chords:
But you can find us all in Alabama
Yeah, we're all down in Dixie Land
I didn't die out in Montana....no Lord
You let me get back to my old homeland
And I'm gonna hold on to her hand
I've done a whole lot of searchin'
A whole lot of hurtin'
Before I finally found
My road in life
You gotta say things you wanna say
Go on and do things your own way
You can climb any old mountain
Once you make up your mind
Chorus chords:
And I made mine in Alabama
And I found mine down in Dixie Land
I didn't die out in Montana...no Lord
You let me get back to my 'ole homeland
And I'm gonna hold on to her hand
