I Sang Dixie-crd Dwight Yoakam

Chorus [G]I sang dixie as he died

people just walked on by [G7] as I [C]cried

the bottle had a r[G]obbed him of all his r[G7]ebel p[C]ried

and I sang d[D]ixie as he [G]died [G]way down yonder in the land of cotton

o[C]ld times there aint near as rotten as they a[G]re

on these damne old LA s[D]treets

[G]he drew a dying breath lai[C]d his head agains my chest

pl[G]ease dear lord take his so[D]ul back home to d[G]ixie

Repeat Chorus

He said listen to me son while you still can

r[C]un back home to that southern land

don't you s[G]ee what life here has done to [D]me

t[G]hey closed those old blue eyes a[C]nd he fell limp

against my side no more p[G]ain now he's sa[D]fe back

home in D[G]ixie.
