Start Jamming...
[E] It's called I Sang Dixie.
[E] I sang Dixie as he died.
People just walked on by as I cried.
[Ab] [A] Bottlehead rising of all his rebel [E] pride.
I sang Dixie
[B] [E] as he died.
He said, oh, he died in the [Ab] land of [E] cotton.
[A] Old times, they ain't as rotten as [E] they are
On this damned old L.A. [B] street.
[Gb] [B] Then [E] he drew a dying [Ab] breath
[A] And laid his head against my chest.
[E] Please, Lord, [B] take his soul back home [E] to Dixie.
[G] [E]
I sang Dixie as he died.
People just walked on by as I cried.
[Ab] [A] Bottlehead rising of all his rebel [E] pride.
I sang Dixie [B]
as [E] he died.
He said, listen to me, son, while you [Bm] still [E] can.
[A] Run back home to that southern land, don't you [E] see?
Life here is [B] done to me.
[E] Then he closed those old [G] blue [Ab] [A] eyes
And fell limp against my side, no [E] more pain.
Now [B] he's safe back home [E] in Dixie.
[G] [E]
I sang Dixie as he died.
People just walked on by as I cried.
[Ab] [A] Bottlehead rising of all his [E] rebel pride.
So I sang Dixie [B]
[E]

as [A] he died.

Over here on the lead guitar, you probably won't recognize him without his Wattle rag.
Rag, he's on.
I don't recognize you without your Wattle rag.
The producer of all three albums, Mr.
Pete Anderson.

This is one that, uh, this is one that I wrote a while back and put on the second album.
