G
(INTRO)

   G                 F
oh Dixie, watch this black cloud roll

             C 
she's coming down to tear away your soul

         G          F
how much longer can you pretend

          C 
that your plough ain't threatened by their pen

     G        Am     C          G
hold on - oh, oh, oh Dixie hold on




          G            F 
to stand alone and cut America in two

                   C
means everything's lost, the constitution's fallen through

             G           F
to leave the Union is to weaken what is strong

             C
you think it right, they think it morally wrong

           G          Am     C            G
but you'll fall - oh, oh, oh Dixie you'll fall



Am                         D 
King Cotton, your reign is shadowed with pain

            G
and burning emotion

         Am                           D                 
you need slaves to keep alive but the North could help you survive

               G
your misguided notion


(GUITARS & HARP) 
G  F  C
G  F  C
G  Am  C  G


       G              F
oh, oh Dixie, you are bold and strong

                   C
you could have 'em beat before too long

           G             F
you have a birthright, a lifestyle to defend

              C
you must hold on, until the very end

     G        Am     C           G
hold on - oh, oh, oh Dixie, hold on


Am   C   G
