  			      A                   D 
I was sad and blue, I was down-hearted too 
   A               E               A  E 
It seemed like the whole world was lost  
    A                       D 
And I took a chance, and we happened to dance 
       A           E       A 
To the tune of the Alabama Waltz.

Waltz, Waltz, The Alabama Waltz 
B                       E             E7 
There all my fears, and tears were lost   
A                        D 
There in your arms, with all of your charm 
   A             E       A 
We danced to The Alabama Waltz.
