The riff is on piano, but on the guitar can be done by barring at V
and alternately playing

Here it is - as usual, I'll let you align the lyrics...

[intro - DCDCDC etc riff w/o 5th's]
D/C D/C D DVirgil Spencer's got a nineteen inch Hitachi
And many deamons lingering
D D D DFriday night he pulled a gun to change the channel
D/C D/C D DSomething that he picked up from the King
His wife remembers well the man she knew
C C Bm BmSeems the dreams she had have all turned black and blue, she's
Am Am G Gwasted years No
time for tears 'Cause there's
D C G Danother chance and someday soon
D C G DShining like the Alabama moon She's
looking for her promised land
D C C COut beyond the lights of ...............
C C D DBirmingham
It's three a.m. and Virgil's
D D D/C D/Cpassed out on the sofa a fifth of Jim Beam on the
D D D Dfloor She's packed a bag, she slips the
keys out of his pocket she's careful not to slam the
D D C Cdoor and as she drives she rubs her
D D C Crosary she's never been so all alone, she never
felt so free she's got miles to
G G F Fgo, 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.......
