[Intro] A [Verse 1]
A          D                   E
Pine trees grow so tall in the bright sunshine

D                E                  A
     A young boy steals his daddy's fishin' line

A             D                      E
The alligator lays on the banks of a riverbed

D                      E
     And if you didn't know any better

      A
You'd swear he's dead
[Chorus]
Bm                   E                 A
     Now these are a few things I'm in love with

  Bm                E           A
A small part of the reason I go back

       Bm                  E                 A
To Carolina, Mississsippi, Florida, gorgeous Georgia

           Bm                   E
Now if you think I'm happy down there

                    A
You're on the right track

        D                   E
And you ain't just whistlin Dixie

    A                        D
You ain't just slappin' your knee

      D               E
I'm a grandson of the Southland

   A               A7
An heir to the Confederacy

You ain't just whistlin' Dixie

           A                        D
'Cause the cattle call's callin' me home

   D                         E
So put me down there where I wanna be

D                  E
Plant my feet with Robert E. Lee

D                     E
Bury my bones under a cypress tree

    D     C#m E  A
And never let me roam
[Instrumental] E D E [Verse 2]
A                          D                       E
Cotton balls gleam and the cow gives cream for the baby's sake

    D                   E                      A
And Pa comes in full of gin and he's mean as a rattlesnake

           A                    D                E
And if the well runs dry and we cry and cuss the garden hose

    D                           E                   A
And Mama draws a bucket full of creek water just to wash our clothes
[Chorus]
Bm                   E                 A
     Now these are a few things I'm in love with

A small part of the reason I go back

       Bm                  E                 A
To Carolina, Mississsippi, Florida, gorgeous Georgia

           Bm                   E
Now if you think I'm happy down there
