Transcribed by Stan Whittle
 
This is the live version played only on acoustic.
 
                                "Alabama"
 
Intro,   D, A, Bm, G      D,ΚA, G, A     then
 ΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚD, A, Bm, G     D, A, G, A, D
 
DΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚA                   Bm                       G
She picked up the telephone,  all she heard was dial tone, 
DΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚA                             Bm            G
she really thought she heard it ring this time.
DΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚAΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚBm              G
She said what am I thinking,  I must be only dreaming
D               A                      Bm               G 
maybe its a hundred timesΚit crossed my mind
          D                         A                         G        A
Just tonight,  She said maybe I'll miss your lovin,
DΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚA                 GΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚAΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚDsus D Dsus
Maybe I'll miss your kiss,  just a little bit
D          ΚΚA              GΚΚΚΚΚΚΚΚA                     Dsus D Dsus
Maybe I'll miss your body,  lyin right next to mine
D            A              G        A
Maybe I'll miss your touch,  a little too much.
 
    D,  A,ΚBm, G  then D, A, G, A, D.
 
The exact same progression is played throughout the song. 
When playing the A chord in the intro, there's a hammer on, pull off with your ring finger on the b string.
 
The Dsus is just D with your pinkie finger on the bottom string, 3rd fret.  Hope this helps out.  I love this song.
