I Sang Dixie Ukulele Chords

THIS MATCHES THE RECORDING 
Chorus 
C
I sang Dixie as he died the people just walked on bye as I cried 
                                                                       F         C 
The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride 
           G7          C 
So I sang Dixie as he died  

Verse 1 
C 
He said way down yonder in the land of cotton 
                                                                             F      C
Ole times there aint near as rotten as they are 
C                         G7
On theses damned ole L.A streets 
C                                             
Then he drew a dying breath 
         F
Laid his head against my chest  
          C             G7
Oh please lord take his soul back 
        C
Home to Dixie 

(Chorus) 
C
He said listen to me son while you still can 
F                  
Run back home to that southern land 
          C                              G7
Don’t you see what life here has done to me 
C
Then he closed those old blue eyes 
     F                            C 
Fell limp against my side no more pain 
         G7                 C
Now he’s safe back home in Dixie 

(chorus)
