G harmonic chord played on 12th fret


               G                     D
Rollin' down-a backwoods, Tennessee byway
Em             C/G
One arm on the wheel
           G                D
Holdin' my lover, With the other
  Em                    C/G
A sweet, soft Southern thrill
            Em                      D
Worked hard all week, Got a little jingle
     Em                 C/G
On a Tennessee Saturday night
              G           D
Couldn't feel better, I'm together 
        Cm          G
With my Dixieland Delight


         D                   Em                              C/G
Spend my dollar, Parked in a holler 'neath the mountain moonlight
         G                       D
Hold her up tight, Make a little lovin'
              Em                        C/G
A little turtledovin' on a Mason-Dixon night
        Em           C/G       Cm          G
Fits my life, oh, so right, my Dixieland Delight


Solo

          (G)                      D
White-tail buck deer, Munchin' on clover
Em                          C/G
Red-tail hawk, sittin' on a limb
           G                    D
Chubby old groundhog, Croakin' bullfrog
Em                       C/G
Free as a feelin' in the wind
          Em                        D
Homegrown country girl, Gonna give me a whirl
     Em                 C/G
On a Tennessee Saturday night
           G                D
Lucky as a seven, Livin' in heaven
        Cm          G
With my Dixieland Delight

         G                       D

              Em                        C/G
A little turtledovin' on a Mason-Dixon night
