Dwight Yoakam - I Sang Dixie Ukulele

[Chorus]
C                                                          C7
I sang Dixie as he died the people just walked on bye as I cried
               F                           C
The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride
              G7      C
So I sang Dixie as he died

[Verse 1]
C
He said way down yonder in the land of cotton
F                                           C
Ole times there aint near as rotten as they are
C                         G7
On theses damned ole L.A streets
C
Then he drew a dying breath
F
Laid his head against my chest
          C             G7
Oh please lord take his soul back
        C
Home to Dixie

[Chorus]
C                                                          C7
I sang Dixie as he died the people just walked on bye as I cried
               F                           C
The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride
              G7      C
So I sang Dixie as he died

[Verse 2]
C
He said listen to me son while you still can
F
Run back home to that southern land
          C                              G7
Don’t you see what life here has done to me
C
Then he closed those old blue eyes
F                                 C
Fell limp against my side no more pain
         G7                 C
Now he’s safe back home in Dixie

[chorus]
C                                                          C7
I sang Dixie as he died the people just walked on bye as I cried
               F                           C
The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride
              G7      C
So I sang Dixie as he died

[Outro]
               G7      C
Yes I sang Dixie as he died
