Testo, Accordi e Tablatura di Alabama Song – The Doors

Alabama Song è un componimento del poeta tedesco Bertolt Brecht, scritto nel 1927 e messo in musica dal compositore Kurt Weill per la cantata Mahagonny.
I Doors hanno ripreso e riarrangiato il brano originale nel 1967, incidendolo nell’album di debutto The Doors col titolo Alabama Song (Whiskey Bar).
Altrettanto famosa è la versione di David Bowie del 1980.
