[Intro: ]C   D 
C 
Virgil Spencer's got a nineteen-inch Hitachi 
D 
And many demons lingering 
C 
Friday night he pulled a gun to change the channel  
D 
Something that he picked up from the King  
    C9                              D 
His wife remembers well the man she knew  
C9                            Bm7                            
Seems the dreams she had have all turned black and blue  
      Am7    G(add2) 
She's wasted years  
   F        Em7 
No time for tears  
              D       Am7          G/C     D 
Cause there's another chance and a someday soon  
        Am7      Cmaj7     D 
Shining like the Alabama - moon  
              Am7     G/C      D 
She's looking for her promised land  
    Am7                    D/G 
Out beyond the lights of  
Birmingham 
C 
It's three a.m. and Virgil's passed out on the sofa  
D 
A fifth of Jim Beam on the floor  
C 
She's packed a bag she slips the keys out of his pocket 
D 
She's careful not to slam the door  
    C9                         D 
And as she drives she rubs her rosary  
      C9                            Bm7 
She's never been so all alone she's never felt so free  
          Am7      G(add2) 
She's got miles to go  
      F         Em7 
Blind faith and hope 
              D       Am7          G/C     D 
Cause there's another chance and a someday soon  
        Am7      Cmaj7     D 
Shining like the Alabama - moon  
              Am7     G/C      D 
She's looking for her promised land  
    Am7                    D/G 
Out beyond the lights of  
Birmingham 
            C9                          D 
As the rain falls down upon the inter - state  
C9                     Bm7              
Any doubts she had are all but washed away 
    Am7       G(add2) 
One long look back  
F            Em7 
At Birming - ham  
              D       Am7          G/C     D 
Cause there's another chance and a someday soon  
        Am7         Cmaj7  D 
Shining like the Alabama - moon  
              Am7     G/C      D 
She's looking for her promised land  
    Am7                    D/G 
Out beyond the lights of  
Birmingham
