[Intro] | E | B | E | E | [Chorus]
E
I sang Dixie as he died

E                                       E7
The people just walked on by as I cried

               A                     E
The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride

          E       B7      E
So I sang Dixie     as he died
[Verse 1]
E                E/D#          E/C#    E/B
He said way down yonder in the land of cotton

A         A/G#        A/F#    A/E
Ole times there ain't near as rotten as they are

E                         B7
On these damned ol' 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
I sang Dixie as he died

E                                       E7
The people just walked on by as I cried

               A                     E
The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride

          E       B7      E
So I sang Dixie     as he died
[Solo] | E | E | E | E | | E | E | E | E7 | | A | A | E | E | | E | B7 | E | E | [Verse 2]
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]
E
I sang Dixie as he died

E                                       E7
The people just walked on by as I cried

               A                     E
The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride

          E       B7      E
So I sang Dixie     as he died
[Ending]
          E       B7      A        E  E  A E
So I sang Dixie     as he dieeeeed
