Chorus
E MajorE
I sang Dixie as he died the people just walked on bye as I cried
A augmentedA E MajorE
The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride
B7B7 E MajorE
So I sang Dixie as he died
Verse 1
E MajorE
He said way down yonder in the land of cotton
A augmentedA E MajorE
Ole times there aint near as rotten as they are
E MajorE B7B7
On theses damned ole L.A streets
E MajorE
Then he drew a dying breath
A augmentedA
Laid his head against my chest
E MajorE B7B7
Oh please lord take his soul back
E MajorE
Home to Dixie
(Chorus)
E MajorE
He said listen to me son while you still can
A augmentedA
Run back home to that southern land
E MajorE B7B7
Don’t you see what life here has done to me
E MajorE
Then he closed those old blue eyes
A augmentedA E MajorE
Fell limp against my side no more pain
B7B7 E MajorE
Now he’s safe back home in Dixie
(chorus)
