1st verse :
D    Cadd9          G       G
 Big wheels keep on turning 
D         Cadd9          G       G
 Carry me home to see my kin 
D        Cadd9           G          G
 Singing songs about the Southland 
D          Cadd9      G                      G
 I miss Alabamy once again and I think its a sin, yes
