G D C G
You looked real calm as we made our way up the walk

G D C G
There were lazy kisses, hands brushing and small talk

G D G C
The moon was high, your smooth face was dry and the

G
kudzu.... grew


CHORUS:

G D G
and the stars fell on alabama

D G
and your eyes filled up with lightning

D G C G D G
and the stars fell on alaba- ma


G D C G
The warm earth underneath us gave way

D C G
dry grass crinkled like paper as a breeze came in across the bay

D
cold clean water nearby

G C
glimmered in your eyes

G D
and your pistol (glistened)


G D G
and the stars fell on alabama

D G
and your eyes filled up with lightning

D G C
and the stars fell on alaba- ma

G D G
