Down Along The Dixie Line(Chords)

	        
Capo on 2 


G 
Way down in Dixie, oh do they miss me 

C                      G 
Down along the Dixie line 

G 
Banjoes are strummin?, horseflies are hummin? 

A7                 C 
Ripe melons on the vine 

    Em           G          C         A7 
The gold and the gray weeds sing look away 

    G              D       G 
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 


G                            C 
Can't you hear those drivers wail 

          G                      D 
Can't you see those bright rails shine 

      G                   C 
Gonna catch that fireball man 

          G         D     G 
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 

G                            C 
Can't you hear those drivers wail 

          G                      D 
Can't you see those bright rails shine 

      G                   C 
Wanna catch that fireball man 

          G         D     G 
Leave the northland far behind... 

C   A7   G              D       G 
      ...Down along the Dixie line
