[Chorus 1]
I sang [C]Di xie as he died
The people just walked on by as I cried
The bottle had [F]robbed him
of all his rebel [C]pride
I sang [G]Dixie as he [C]died

[Verse 1]
He said [C]way down
[G]yonder in the [Am]land of [G]cotton
[F]Old times [Em]there ain't
[Dm]near as rott[F]en as they are[C]
On this damned old L.A. [G]street
[C]He drew a dying breath
[F]Laid his head against my chest
Please [C]Lord take his [G]soul back home to Di[C]xie

[Chorus 2]

The people just walked on by as I cried

[Verse 2]
He said [C]listen to me son while you still can
[F]Run back home to that Southern land
Don't you [C]see what life here has done to [G]me
[C]Then he closed those old blue eyes
[F]And fell limp against my side
No more [C]pain,
now he's [G]safe back home in Di[C]xie
