D
I just had to show 'em
                    G
I didn't need 'em

D                                                              A
And so I headed out West to see some old friends of mine
                        D
I thought if I'd climb up
                   G
'Ole Ajax mountain
                               D
Maybe that would help me
A                        D
Get it all off my mind


D
I made it up to the top
                       G
Picked out a clear spot
                    D                                        A
I thought a whole lot about the rest of my life
                D
I had no idea then
                         G
Soon it would nearly end
                    D
Up on this mountain side
A                    D
I would nearly die


                   G            D
And they're all in Alabama
                   G                D
And they're all in Dixe Land
                G                    D                      A
God I'm dying here in Montana....please Lord
                  D         A                    D
Just wanna go back   to hold her hand
                    A                                   D
Just let me get back to my old home land


D
They said I'd never sing again
                                    G
I learned alot about my friends
                                        D
'Cause when you're shot down and out
                                A
You don't get many calls
                            D
But I saw some tears in some eyes
                                G
Since my poor old mother has died
              D        A                              D
I nearly lost it all   when I lost my grandpa

                              G            D
But you can find us all in Alabama
                    G                        D
Yeah, we're all down in Dixie Land
            G                      D            A
I didn't die out in Montana....no Lord
                   D         A                        D
You let me get back    to my old homeland
                         A                    D
And I'm gonna hold on to her hand


D
I've done a whole lot of searchin'
                        G
A whole lot of hurtin'
                D                                A
before I finally found my road in life
                                            D
You gotta say things you wanna say
                                         G
Go on and do things your own way
                        D
A                                  D
You can climb any old mountain once you make up your mind

                      G                D
And I made mine in Alabama
                      G                           D
And I found mine down in Dixie Land
             G                    D            A
I didn't die out in Montana...no Lord
                  D         A                          D
You let me get back    to my 'ole homeland
                         A                   D
And I'm gonna hold on to her hand
