Dwight Yoakam - I Sang Dixie Chords & Tabs

D
I sang Dixie as he died 

D                                       D7
The people just walked on by as I cried 
                                                                            
                 G                         D 
The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride 

          D  A7       D 
So I sang Dixie as he died  


D 
He said way down yonder in the land of cotton 
                                                                           
G                                           D
Old times there ain't near as rotten as they are
 
D                         A7
On these damned ole L.A streets 

D                                             
He drew his dying breath 

         G
Laid his head against my chest  

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

D
He said listen to me son while you still can 

G                  
Run back home to that Southern land 

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

D
Then he closed those old blue eyes 

     G                             D 
Fell limp against my side, no more pain 

         A7                 D
Now his soul's back home in Dixie
