Capo on 2


G5
Way down in Dixie, oh do they miss me

C5                      G5
Down along the Dixie line

G5
Banjoes are strummin?, horseflies are hummin?

A5                 C5
Ripe melons on the vine

    E5           G5          C5         A5
The gold and the gray weeds sing look away

    G5              D5       G5
Way down along the Dixie line


I spent my childhood walking the wildwood
Down along the Dixie line
Freight trains are squallin?, eyeballs are ballin?
Four engines at a time
I was so happy with Momma and Pappy
Down along the Dixie line


G5                            C5
Can't you hear those drivers wail

          G5                      D5
Can't you see those bright rails shine

      G5                   C5
Gonna catch that fireball man

          G5         D5     G5
Leave the northland far behind


[Solo over verse chords]


A river of whiskey flows down in Dixie
Down along the Dixie line
They pulled up the tracks now, I can't go back now
Can't hardly keep from crying
Oh do they miss me way down in Dixie
Down along the Dixie line

G5                            C5
Can't you hear those drivers wail

          G5                      D5
Can't you see those bright rails shine

      G5                   C5
Wanna catch that fireball man

          G5         D5     G5
Leave the northland far behind...

C5   A5   G5              D5       G5
      ...Down along the Dixie line
