INTRO

E

I sang Dixie, as he died.

E7

The people just walked on by, as I cried.

A E

The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride.

B7 E

So I sang Dixie, as he died.

E

He said 'Way down yonder in the land of cotton,

A E

Old times there ain't near as rotten as they are

B7

On this damned old L.A. street'.

E A

Then he drew a dying breath, laid his head against my chest.

E B7 E

Please Lord, take his soul back home to Dixie.

E

I sang Dixie, as he died.

E7

The people just walked on by, as I cried.

A E

The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride.

B7 E

So I sang Dixie, as he died.

INSTRUMENTAL

E

He said 'Listen to me son, while you still can,

A

Run back home to that Southern land.

E B7

Don't you see what life here has done to me?'

E A

Then he closed those old blue eyes, and fell limp against my side.

E B7 E

No more pain, now he's safe back home in Dixie.

E

I sang Dixie, as he died.

E7

The people just walked on by, as I cried.

The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride.

B7 E

So I sang Dixie, as he died.
