Dwight Yoakam – I Sang Dixie (Ukulele)

C
I sang Dixie as he died the people just walked on bye as I cried 

                                                                       F         C 
The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride 

           G7          C 
So I sang Dixie as he died  

C 
He said way down yonder in the land of cotton 

                                                                             F      C
Ole times there aint near as rotten as they are 

C                         G7
On theses damned ole L.A streets 

C                                             
Then he drew a dying breath 

         F
Laid his head against my chest  

          C             G7
Oh please lord take his soul back 

        C
Home to Dixie 

C
He said listen to me son while you still can 

F                  
Run back home to that southern land 

          C                              G7
Don’t you see what life here has done to me 

C
Then he closed those old blue eyes 

     F                            C 
Fell limp against my side no more pain 

         G7                 C
Now he’s safe back home in Dixie
