I sang Dixie as he died People just walked on by as I cried
The bottle [A] had a writing Of [E] all his rebel pride
I sang Dixie
[B] as [E] he died
Said way down on the island [C#m] In the land [B] of cotton
[A] Old [G#m] times [F#m] ain't [E] as rotten as they are On this damn dope L.A. [B] street
[E] They drew a dying breath [A] And laid his head against my chest
[E] Please Lord take [B] your soul back home [E] Dixie
I sang Dixie as he died
People just walked on by as I cried
The bottle [Am] had a writing
[A] Of all [E] his rebel pride
So I sang Dixie
[B] as [E] he died
[A]

[B] [E] He said listen to me son while you still can
[A] Run back home to that southern land don't [E] you see
What life here has done to [B] me
And [A] [E] he closed those old blue [A] eyes
And fell limp and gets my side no [E] more pain
Now he's [B] safe back home [E] Dixie
