Song: "Stars Fell On Alabama"
Artist: The Mountain Goats
Album: "Nine Black Poppies" (Emperor Jones, 1996)
Standard Tuning: .
Intro:
You looked real calm as we made our way up the walk
There were lazy kisses, hands brushing and small talk
The moon was high, your smooth face was dry and the
kudzu.... grew
CHORUS:
and the stars fell on alabama
and your eyes filled up with lightning
and the stars fell on alaba- ma
The warm earth underneath us gave way
dry grass crinkled like paper as a breeze came in across the bay
cold clean water nearby
glimmered in your eyes
and your pistol (glistened)
and the stars fell on alabama
and your eyes filled up with lightning
and the stars fell on alaba- ma
but if you think I'll take a bullet for you, you're dreaming!
[repeat opening pattern, end]
