Down Home by Alabama
Key: GG | Capo: 0fr |  Left-Handed 

G               D 
Just off of the beaten path
C                  D 
A little dot on a state road map
C                  D                 G
That's where I was born & where I'll die
G                 D 
Things move at a slower pace
C             D 
Nobody's in a rat race
  C                       D             G
And these days that's a special way to fly

Chorus :

C    G                                    C                D  
Down Home where they know you by name and treat you like family
C    G                               C                 D 
Down Home a man's good word & a handshake are all you need
C     Em                                    C                 A         
Folks know if they're fallin on hard times they can fall back on
G                  C   D    G
Those of us raised up Down Home


G                    D
In the corner of a hardware store
C                  D 
Gathered round a checker board
C               D                G
Old men telling lies & crowning kings
G                     D  
Kids drivin round the old town square
C                       D
Tops rolled down in the cool nite air
C                 D                   G
Go & see what's shakin at the Dairy Queen

Chorus :


C             D              G                  C                  
When I was a boy I couldn't wait to leave this place
    D            C               D
But now I wanna see my children raised
C    G          C      D
Down Home 
C    G          C      D 
Down Home 
C     Em                                    C                 A
Folks know if they're fallin on hard times they can fall back on
G                  C   D    G                     
Those of us raised up Down Home

                                 C              D
Where they know you by name and treat you like family
C     G                          C                     D     
Down Home a man's good word & a handshake are all you need
C     Em                                   C                  A 
Folks know if they're fallin on hard times they can fall back on
G                  C   D    G  
Those of us raised up Down Home
C    G       C   D
