Chord/Tab song: I Sang Dixie

I sang Dixie as he died

[D]The people just walked on by as I cried [D7]

The bottle had ro[G]bbed him of all his rebel [D]pride

So I sang [D]Dix[A7]ie as he [D]died

[D]He said way down yonder in the land of cotton

[G]Old times there ain't near as rotten as they[D] are

[D]On these damned ole L.A st[A7]reets

[D]He drew his dying breath

Laid his [G]head against my chest

Oh please [D]lord take his [A7]soul back [D]home to Dixie

[D]I sang Dixie as he died

[D]The people just walked on by as I cried [D7]

The bottle had ro[G]bbed him of all his rebel pr[D]ide

So I sang [D]Dix[A7]ie as he [D]died


[D]He said listen to me son while you still can

[G]Run back home to that Southern land

Don't you [D]see what life here has done to [A7]me

[D]Then he closed those old blue eyes

Fell [G]limp against my side, no more [D]pain

Now his s[A7]oul's back home in [D]Dixie

[D]I sang Dixie as he died

[D]the people just walked on by as I cried [D7]

The bottle had r[G]obbed him of all his rebel p[D]ride

So I sang [D]Dix[A7]ie as he [D]died
