For the intro/verse guitar, use power chords tuned down a whole step, so DGCFA#D. This
is also very doable in Drop D

The verse's chords: Dmin Fmaj Gmaj Bbmaj
[Bbmaj]Well, [Dmin]they caught you smoking grass and the [Fmaj]judge threw the book
I can [Gmaj]see a little opportun[Bbmaj]ism in your look
You [Dmin]can take it from me, boy you can [Fmaj]take it from a crook [Gmaj] [Bbmaj]
I got [Dmin]friends on the inside and [Fmaj]friends on the outside
I can s[Gmaj]ee you standing there[Bbmaj], staring down at your shoes
Thinking about your Mom and Dad and wondering what to do
Well you best look inside yourself, boy, we're all watching you
We got friends in jail who will see you through
Boy, don't forget, no matter what you do
Chorus:
[Dmin]Don't piss off the [Fmaj]Boys from Alabama
You [Gmaj]know they won't let it [Bbmaj]slide
[Dmin]They might find your body in the [Fmaj]Tennessee River
or [Gmaj]they might not find you at [Bbmaj]all
[Dmin]There'll be no place to [Fmaj]run and hide
and [Gmaj]your family ain't safe at [Bbmaj]all
[Dmin]Don't piss off the [Fmaj]Boys from Alabama
[Gmaj]We're keeping an eye on [Bbmaj]you
Keepin an eye on you
Don't piss off the Boys from Alabama
Better take it like a man
Ain't nobody gonna stick anything up your ass
If you remember who your friends are
We got good help down in Franklin County
They'll hunt you like a dog
You can take your fall or lose it all
The choice is up to you
I wouldn't piss off the Boys from Alabama if I was you
