Alabama Clay
Recorded by Garth Brooks
Written by Ronny Scaife and Larry Cordle
C 
First time he  
G7 
saw the ground get  
Am 
busted 
 
 
C 
 
He was  
F 
ten and it was 195
C 
2  
G7 
 
His  
C 
daddy worked hard from  
G7 
sunup to  
Am 
sundown
C 
 
And the  
F 
goin' got tough behind them ol' grey  
G7 
mules
 
The  
C 
farm grew to  
G7 
be a money
Am 
maker
C 
 
And the  
F 
house he lived in grew up room by  
C 
room
G7 
 
The  
C 
boy worked hard but  
G7 
soon got tired of  
Am 
farmin' 
 
 
C 
 
So he  
D7 
slipped away one  
G7 
night neath the harvest  
C 
moon
 
His neck was  
F 
red as Alabama  
C 
clay
 
But the city's  
F 
c-a
C 
ll pulled him  
G7 
away
 
He's got a factory  
F 
job and runs a big  
C 
machine
 
He don't miss the  
G7 
farm or the fields of  
C 
green 
 
 
G7 
 
Now the  
C 
city's just a  
G7 
prison without  
Am 
fences
C 
 
His  
F 
job is just a routine he can't  
C 
stand 
 
 
G7 
 
And at  
C 
night he dreams of  
G7 
wide open  
Am 
spaces
C 
 
Fresh  
F 
dirt between his toes and on his  
G7 
hands
 
Then one  
C 
day a picture  
G7 
came inside a  
Am 
letter
C 
 
Of a  
F 
young girl with a baby in her  
C 
arms
G7 
 
And the  
C 
words she wrote will  
G7 
change his life  
Am 
forever
G7 
 
So he  
D7 
went to raise his  
G7 
family on the  
C 
farm
 
His neck is  
F 
red as Alabama  
C 
clay
 
Now he's goin'  
F 
h-o
C 
me this time to  
G7 
stay
 
Where the roots run  
F 
deep on the family  
C 
tree
 
And the tractor  
G7 
rolls through the fields of  
C 
green
repeat last verse
 
His neck is  
F 
red as Alabama  
C 
clay
