The riff is on piano, but on the guitar can be done by barring at V
and alternately playing
e-x
A-5 sound this note only every other time
E-x
and
e-x
B-5
G-5
D-x
A-x
E-x
Here it is - as usual, I'll let you align the lyrics...

Virgil Spencer's got a nineteen inch Hitachi
D/c |D/c |D |D
And many deamons lingering
| | |
Friday night he pulled a gun to change the channel
D/c |D/c |D |D
Something that he picked up from the King
| |D |D
His wife remembers well the man she knew
| |Bm |Bm
Seems the dreams she had have all turned black and blue, she's
| |G |G
wasted years No
| |Em |Em
time for tears 'Cause there's
|C |G |
another chance and someday soon
|C |G |
Shining like the Alabama moon She's
|C |G |
looking for her promised land
|C |C |C
Out beyond the lights of ...............
| |D |D
Birmingham
D/c |D/c |D |D
It's three a.m. and Virgil's
D |D |D/c |D/c
passed out on the sofa a fifth of Jim Beam on the
| | |
floor She's packed a bag, she slips the
D |D |D/c |D/c
keys out of his pocket she's careful not to slam the
| |C |C
door and as she drives she rubs her
| |C |C
rosary she's never been so all alone, she never
| |Am |Am
felt so free she's got miles to
| |F |F
go, blind faith and
Em |[you get the idea.......
hope... 'cause there's another chance, and
someday soon Shining like the
Alabama moon she's looking for, her
promised land Out beyond the lights of
[]
Birmingham
[]
[]
And as the rain falls down upon the interstate
Any doubts she had are all but washed away
One long look back at
Bir................ming...........ham... 'cause there's
another chance and someday soon
Shining like the Alabama moon
She's looking for her promised land
Out beyond the lights of Birmingham.......
