Dixie chords by Dwight Yoakam

Chords with lyrics

D MajorD
I sang Dixie as he died
                     D7D7
The people just walked on by as I cried
G+G                      D MajorD
The bottle had robbed him of his rebel pride
            A augmentedA       D MajorD
So I sang Dixie as he died


He said way down yonder in the land of cotton
G+G                         D MajorD
Old times there ain?t near as rotten as they are
                     A augmentedA
On this damned old LA street
D MajorD
Then he drew his dying breath
G+G
And laid his head against my chest
       D MajorD          A augmentedA     D MajorD
Please Lord take his soul back home to Dixie

D MajorD
He said listen to me son while you still can
G+G
Run back home to that southern land
         D MajorD              A augmentedA
Don?t you see what life here has done to me?

D MajorD
then he closed those big blue eyes
G+G
And fell limp against my side
         D MajorD           A augmentedA   D MajorD
