Bury Me in Dixie Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C][G][Am][G][F]
[C]Mount
Cheaha is my Everest
And the [G]Coosa is my Nile
[Am]Alabama's where I was [G]born and raised
And I [F]think I'll stay awhile
Sing [C]about sweet home
And [G]Dixie Land Delight
We tell [Am]stories about [G]what goes on in
[F]Montgomery at midnight
'Cause [Am]music row ain't
[G]only in Tenness[F]ee
Won't you [G]bury me in [C]Dixie

[Verse 2]
Beneath these Alabama [G]pines
Take me to Tusca[Am]loosa
Plant me under [G]the fifty yard [F]line
Put me in an old truck
[C]A f[G]our door Chevrolet
Drive me [Am]down to Guntersville
And [G]park me [F]by the lake

[Verse 3]
Or [Am]take me to [G]Toomer's Corner
Put me [F]un der an oak tree
[Am]Give 'em toilet pa[G]per
[F]'Til they mummify me
I'll [G]rest in peace if they
Bury [F]me in [C]Dixie
[G][Am]

[Verse 4]
[G][F]
Well, [C]lay me by my daddy
And my [G]grandpa just the same
I [Am]want every headstone next to [G]me
To [F]read my last name
But [C]take me back to Jacksonville
Drive [G]me up mountain street
[Am]Lead me into [G]old Paul Snow
And [F]show me to my seat
When [Am]God decides it's [G]time for us to meet
[F]Won't you bur[G]y me in Dix[C]ie

[Verse 5]
Where hard work [G]is a plow
I wish Robert [Am]E. Lee could come
[G]back
And take a bow
[F]Or take me to the Flora-Bama
[C]And set me up at the
[G]mullet toss
Everybody [Am]drinks on me and I
[G]don't care [F]what it cost

[Verse 6]
Or [Am]take me to Tallade[G]ga
Spread my [F]ashes in turn three
[Am]Paint my casket [G]black with a big
[F]ass number three
I'll [G]rest in peace
If they bury [C]me in Dixie
[G][Am]

[Verse 7]
[G][F]
Well, [Am]God bless [G]Alabama
[F]from sea to Tennessee
I'll rest [G]in peace
If they bury me [C]in Dixie[F][G][C]
