--VERSE 1:

A                              D          C        A
The old man was a good man, he raised his children right
A                                 A         E      A 
He taught us how to work hard and showed us how to fight 
A                               A       C     D
Told me about the good Lord and when to use a gun 
C            G                 C 
Made me very proud of where it is that I come from

--CHORUS--

B-C      D                       E  G# A
  When I die put my bones in the Dixie dirt
D                               E       G#       A 
Look down on me smiling I don't want no feelings hurt
D                          E      G#     F# 
All I leave behind me is a ragged old guitar
  C                  G             A(stop) 
I may not change the world but I'm gonna leave a scar

--VERSE 2:

A(stop) (banjo)
Years they rolled on by, the old man turned me loose 
Way cross town I learned about them sad ol' country blues 
                                                      D
Taught me how to prep my heart from trying to make it right 
C              G              C 
Told me not to ever break but one law at a time

--CHORUS:

B-C      D                       E  G# A
  When I die put my bones in the Dixie dirt
D                               E       G#       A 
Look down on me smiling I don't want no feelings hurt
D                          E      G#     F# 
All I leave behind me is a ragged old guitar
  C                  G             A(stop) 
I may not change the world but I'm gonna leave a scar

--BRIDGE:

            F#              D
Hope you'll wear me on your memory like a painted old tattoo 
  B                                       E
I might not make no history book but I'll burn a page or two 
Yeah
