[Intro]
Am G F  Am G F

[Verse 1]
    Am                G
She stole my heart at Rounders
       F
In the heart of the SEC
       Am            G
Little ADPi, wearing red
 and white
        F
And the rest was history
          Am
Two years later bought
      G
two tickets for
F
Spring break, her, and me
           Am
Before the plane took off,
     G
 she called it off
         F
Now, I'm standing on
this beach singing

[Chorus]
C
Roll tide roll
         F                 C
Wash the pain right out my soul
        F                 C
I don't wanna miss her no more
            G
But I can't help it
             C
'Cause I got Bama on my mind
     F           Am Am/G F
Even here in Mexico,     why
   Dm          G
Oh why, did my roll
      Am  G F C
 tide roll

[Verse 2]
     Am               G
That sunset's burning crimson
       F
On its way down from the sky
      Am             G
Every beer and every beach
 bar taste like
  F
A Tuscaloosa Friday night
     Am   G         F
It's like she's all over
that coastline so

[Chorus]
C
Roll tide roll
         F                 C
Wash the pain right out my soul
        F                 C
I don't wanna miss her no more
            G
But I can't help it
             C
'Cause I got Bama on my mind
     F           Am Am/G F
Even here in Mexico,     why
   Dm          G         Am   G  F
Oh why, did my roll tide roll

[Bridge]
    Am
The missing her just
comes in waves
        G
And the memories won't
drift away
      F
And I can't go home
      G
So, I guess I'll stay
G
Singing

[Chorus]

Roll tide roll
         F                 C
Wash the pain right out my soul
        F                 C
I don't wanna miss her no more
            G
But I can't help it
             C
'Cause I got Bama on my mind
     F           Am Am/G F
Even here in Mexico,     why
   Dm          G         Am
Oh why, did my roll tide roll
