I Sang Dixie Chords

(ver. 1)
Dwight Yoakam
THIS MATCHES THE RECORDING 
Chorus 
E
I sang Dixie as he died the people just walked on bye as I cried 
                                                                       A         E 
The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride 
           B7          E 
So I sang Dixie as he died  

Verse 1 
E 
He said way down yonder in the land of cotton 
                                                                             A      E
Ole times there aint near as rotten as they are 
E                         B7
On theses damned ole L.A streets 
E                                             
Then he drew a dying breath 
         A
Laid his head against my chest  
          E             B7
Oh please lord take his soul back 
        E
Home to Dixie 

(Chorus) 
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
Then he closed those old blue eyes 
     A                            E 
Fell limp against my side no more pain 
         B7                 E
Now he’s safe back home in Dixie 

(chorus)
