CM7                  Dm7    Dm7/G
We lived our little drama,       

G+   CM7                Em7
We kissed in a field of white,

A7+5  Dm7            FM7   Fdim       C9      G7sus4 
And stars fell on Alabama      last night.


CM7                 Dm7    Dm7/G
I can't forget the glamor;     

 G+  CM7                Em7
Your eyes held a tender light,

A7+5  Dm7            FM7  Fdim      C9
And stars fell on Alabama     last night.


Bridge;

         F#m7      Fdim     Em7
I never planned in  my imagination

     Dm7    G7        CM7   Gdim
A situation so heavenly,

       Dm7        G/B    Bb7        Am    Am+7
A fairyland where no one else could enter

           F#m7     F7          EM7     G7
And in the center, just you and me.


CM7                  Dm7      Dm7/G
My heart beat like a hammer;   

G+  CM7                   Em7
My arms wound around you tight,

A7+5 Dm7             FM7   Fdim     C9     Fdim(III)    Fdim    CM7
And stars fell on Alabama      last night.
