Abe Partridge – Young Love Alabama Skies Chords on Piano & Ukulele

Intro]
C  F  C  G  C

[Verse]
C
We were young and in
         F  C
love in Alabama
C
But it wasn't Birmingham,
             G      G7
 it wasn't Mobile
               C
And so we were nowhere,
 F               C
dreamers with a blank stare
C
Running lost highways through
      G      C
 the cotton fields

[Verse]
C
You'd slide over on my bench
                F
 seat and make a joke and
     C
poke fun at me
C
Just because I kept a Bible
                   G      G7
 on the dash of my truck
                C
It ain't that I read it much,
         F           C
 it was really just there for looks
C
And young love on lost highways,
              G          C     C7
 you know we needed the luck

[Chorus]
C7               F
'Cause isn't it something how
                 C
 young love can turn to nothing
                    F
If you add a little distance
                 G     G7
 and time passеs by?
                       C
So I said, "Let's get affectionatе,
         F               C
like it says in the New Testament"
C
And we were laughing at tomorrow
    G                     C     G C
 and grinning through the night

[Verse]
C
Do you remember when we'd wander,
             F            C
 go floating down the Escatawpa?
C
We wasn't really doing nothing
              G       G7
but passing time
                     C
And running from the knowledge
         F                 C
 you were soon to leave for college
C
And splashing on the creek
             G            C    C7
banks and I tried not to cry

[Verse]
C
Well, I helped your daddy move
             F             C
ya into the dorms in Tuscaloosa
C
"You better not forget me",
                     G     G7
 you whispered in my ear
                       C
I couldn't smile, so I faked it,
           F              C
 we both knew I'd never make it
C
Even if I found the money
            G          C     C7
to come to see you up here

[Chorus]
C7               F
'Cause isn't it something how
                 C
 young love can turn to nothing
