Key: G
Introduction:
G Am
My father had skin like leather, hands like steel
C G D
From a lifetime spent in cotton fields
G Am
And though he'd come home tired and dirty almost every night
C D
He found the strength to smile at me and hold my mama tight
Am Em
While that old transistor radio would play the Opry out in the hall
C D
I'd sit and watch their shadows glide across the wall
Am C G
And they danced to a Dixie lullaby
Am C G
A picture of love beneath the southern sky
F C Am C G
Oh my what a beautiful life, just like a Dixie lullaby
I left home at eighteen in a hand-me-down Chevrolet
F C Am C G
Oh my what a beautiful life, just like a Dixie lullaby
