THIS MATCHES THE RECORDING 
Chorus 
EI 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      EOle times there aint near as rotten as they are 
E                         B7On theses damned ole L.A streets 
E                                             Then he drew a dying breath 
         ALaid his head against my chest  
          E             B7Oh please lord take his soul back 
        EHome to Dixie 

(Chorus) 
EHe said listen to me son while you still can 
A                  Run back home to that southern land 
          E                              B7Don’t you see what life here has done to me 
EThen he closed those old blue eyes 
     A                            E Fell limp against my side no more pain 
         B7                 ENow he’s safe back home in Dixie 

(chorus)
