🎸 Intro:

C G G C G G C C C


🎸 Verse:
C
A young boy and an old man
G                           C
 Somewhere way down in the South
                             C
One just turned 10 years old
                        C
And one ain't got long now

 C
The old man served in World War II
G                     C
 And he came home in 45

Proud as hell of the USA
C                             C
 For that flag he'd give his life


🎸 Verse:
 C
Never been good at goodbyes
G                              C
 It's always hard to face the end
                                     C
He looked that young boy in his eyes
                 C
This is what he said


🎸 Chorus:
                 G
I bet it's like Dixie
           C
They have fireflies
              G
And I bet my grandma
                       C
Is making sweet apple pie

              G
If I know my old man
                 C        G
He's working on his truck
                     C     C
I know you're gonna miss me
                     C      C C C
But I bet it's like Dixie


🎸 Verse:
 C
Time flies and the years pass by
G                         C
 But some memories never fade
                                    C
That young boy is now full grown man
                               C
He always does things his own way

C
He learned a lot from that old man
G                          C
 One thing he'll never forget
                                   C
The day that old man lost his life
                        C
The words that old man said


🎸 Chorus:
                 G
I bet it's like Dixie
           C
They have fireflies
              G
And I bet my grandma
                       C
Is making sweet apple pie

              G
If I know my old man
                 C        G
He's working on his truck
                     C     C
I know you're gonna miss me
                     C    C
But I bet it's like Dixie
