[N] [E]
[G] [E]
I
[G]
[E]
was born in Dixieland,
[G] unreconstructed till the end, in [D]
Carolina.
I was raised by [A] my granddaddy and my daddy's ways.
[E]
They both taught me right from wrong, how to [G] fight and how to get along.
But [D] my own life now is almost gone, [A] in southern ground I belong.
[E]
My final hour is drawing near, so [G] friend come sit by me right here.
Let's [D]
laugh and talk about our lives and the [A] good old days before I die.
[E]
Please give your word this vow you'll keep, [G] when I return to earth to sleep.
Let me [D] dream forever under southern land, with a [A] Dixie flag tied in my hand.
[E]
[G] Friend, when my [D] time has come, [Em]
before they lay me down [C] to rest.
[G] Friend, in my time of [D] darkness, please [Em] grant me just this one last [C] request.
[G]
[Em] Dixieland is where I want to [C] make my final [G]
stand.
[D] I don't [G] care if I'm in a [D] box or not when they [Em]
lay me [C] down.
[G] Just bury [B] me in southern [E] ground.
[G]
[E]
One last look at the countryside [G] before I close my weary [D] eyes.
Southern air for my last breath, here [A] comes my sweet angel of death.
[E]
Sing Dixie while they lure me, so [G] I'll hear it for eternity.
[D] I can feel the reaper's touch, ashes [Em] to ashes, dust to dust.
[G] Friend, when my [D] time has come, [Em]
before they lay me down [C] to rest.
[G] Friend, in my time of [D] darkness, please [Em] grant me just this one last [C] request.
[G]
[Em] Dixieland is where I want to [C] make my final [G] stand.
[D] I don't [G] care if I'm in a [D] box or not when [Em] they lay me [C] down.
Just [G]
bury [B] me in southern [E] ground.

[Em] Dixieland is where I want [C] to make my final [G] stand.
I don't care if I'm in a [D]

[G] Just bury [B] me in southern [E] ground.
