Introduction:

Em                                                                      G  
I was born in Dixie land, un-reconstructed till the end
        D                                                                         A                                                                            Em  
In Carolina, I was raised by my granddaddy in my daddy's ways
Em                                                                                                                    G  
They both thought me right from wrong, how to fight and how to get along
                  D                                                                              A                                                            Em  
But my own life now is almost gone in southern ground I belong
Em                                                                                 G  
My final hour is drawin' near so friend come sit by me right here
                D                                                                                                    A                                                              Em  
Let's laugh and talk about our lives and the good ol days before I die
Em                                                                                                                 G

G                                 D                                         Em                                                              C  
When, when my time has come, be-fore they lay me down to rest
G                                                         D                                         Em                                                                         C  
Friends, in my time of darkness, please grant me just this one last re-quest
G            D                                                      C                                 G            D  
Dixie land is where I wanna make my final stand
                     G                                         D                                                 Em              C

D                                                                                              A                                                                         Em  
Southern air for my last breath here comes my sweet angel of death
             Em                                                                            G  
Sing Dixie while they lower me so I hear it for eternity
D                                                                         A                                                         Em  
I can feel the reapers touch ashes to ashes dust to dust
G                                 D                                         Em                                                              C
