But [D] my own life now is almost [A] gone, in southern ground I belong

_ _ [A] _ [E] My final hour is drawing near, [G] so friend come sit by me right here
[D] Let's laugh and talk about our lives [A] and the good old days before I [E] die

[D] Let me dream forever under southern land [A] with a Dixie flag tied in my [E] hand
