Alberta

Words & Music:

Traditional American

 

There's a nice fingerstyle arrangement of this by David Hamburger in the January 2008 issue of Acoustic Guitar.

 

       E7

Oh, Alberta, where'd you stay last night?

      A7

Oh, Alberta, where'd you stay last night?

                 B7     A7            B7      E7

Come home this morning, clothes don't fit you right.

[alt: "Came home this morning, the sun was shining bright."]

 

Oh, Alberta, girl, you're on my mind.

Oh, Alberta, girl, you're on my mind.

Ain't had no loving in such a great long time.

 

If you don't love me, why don't you tell me so?

If you don't love me, why don't you tell me so?

I'm brokenhearted with no place to go.

 

Oh, Alberta, where you been so long?

Oh, Alberta, where you been so long?

Ain't had no loving since you've been gone.
