Bury Me In Southern Ground(Ukulele chords)

	        
verse 1 

Em                           G 
I was born in Dixie land, un-reconstructed till the end 
   D                            A                             Em 
In Carolina, I was raised by my granddaddy in my daddy's ways  
Em                                            G   
They both thought me right from wrong, how to fight and how to get along 
       D                              A                       Em 
But my own life now is almost gone in southern ground I belong  
Em                               G      
My final hour is drawin' near so friend come sit by me right here 
      D                                      A                        Em 
Let's laugh and talk about our lives and the good ol days before I die  
Em                                           G               
Please give your word this vow you keep when I return to earth to sleep 
       D                                        A                         Em 
Let me dream forever under southern land with a Dixie flag tied in my hand  


G             D                Em                        C       
When, when my time has come, be-fore they lay me down to rest 
G                      D                Em                            C 
Friends, in my time of darkness, please grant me just this one last re-quest 
G     D                     C             G     D  
Dixie land is where I wanna make my final stand  
        G                D                   Em      C 
I don't care if I'm in a box or not when they lay me down 
    G     B7             Em 
Just bury me in southern ground

verse 2 

Em                                  G 
One last look at the country side before I close my weary eyes 
D                                    A                            Em 
Southern air for my last breath here comes my sweet angel of death  
     Em                             G 
Sing Dixie while they lower me so I hear it for eternity 
D                            A                      Em 
I can feel the reapers touch ashes to ashes dust to dust 


G             D                Em                        C       
When, when my time has come, be-fore they lay me down to rest 
G                      D                Em                            C 
Friends, in my time of darkness, please grant me just this one last re-quest 
G     D                     C             G     D  
Dixie land is where I wanna make my final stand  
        G                D                   Em      C 
I don't care if I'm in a box or not when they lay me down 
    G     B7             Em 
Just bury me in southern ground
