Verse 1
G
I heard
Odessa's mind was sick
That she was crazier than hell
C
the police caught her turning tricks
down at the blue and gray motel.
G
D
Odessa was the neighbor's maid,
G
she had 10 miles at home to feed.
They bussed her kids to Birmingham
and put her in the county jail.
C
Nobody seemed to give a damn
G
they say a white man posted bail.
D
My dad said not to breathe a word.
G
I told my brother all I heard.
C
And the train of change
G
was coming fast in my hometown.
C
We had the choice to climb on board
D
or get run down
G
It was crazy, we grown men fighting over
C
segregation and civil rights
G
Martin Luther King, KKK,
C
George C. Wallace, and LBJ
D
One when the National Guard came in
C
I thought the world was gonna end
D
G
It was crazy in Alabama
Down at the corner dairy dip
they sold soft ice cream
C
For a dime, white people ordered
From the front, the side was for
The colored line
G
And we all were told
They had their place
D
Because they were
G
A different race
We spent hot summer
Afternoons at the public
C
Swimming pool where the privileged
and the few played on their island of cool blue
G
and brown children watched outside the fence
D
G
it never made one lick of sense
C
but the train of change
G
was coming fast to my hometown
C
We had the choice to climb on board
D
or get run down
G
It was crazy, there were grown men
C
fights over segregation and civil rights
G
Martin Luther King and the KKK,
C
George C. Wallace and LBJ
D
When the National Guard came in,
C
I thought the world was gonna end.
D
G
It was crazy in Alabama.
My mama yelled, child get inside.
C
Drew the drapes, locked the doors.
We watched the marchers passin' by,
felt the rumble, heard the roar
G
And they all held hands,
D
they sang and wept,
G
and freedom rang in every step
C
As the train of change
G
was marchin' through the mountain town
C
We had the choice to climb on board
D
or get run down
G
It was crazy, there were grown men
C
fights over segregation and civil rights
G
Martin Luther King and KKK,
C
George C. Wallace and LBJ
D
When the National Guard came in
C
I thought the world was gonna end
D
G
It was crazy in Alabama
I heard Odessa's mom was sick
