Bury Me In Dixie Cifras

[Verse 1]
       C                            Em
Mt. Cheaha is my Everest, and the Coosa is my Nile
    Am                  Em                    F
Alabama's where I was born and raised and I think I'll stay awhile
  C                          Em
Sing about sweet home, and Dixieland Delight
          Am            Em                 F
We tell stories about what goes on in Montgomery at midnight
           Am            Em       F
'Cause music row ain't only in Tennessee
            Em              C
So won't you bury me in Dixie
 
 
[Verse 2]
   C                     Em
Beneath these Alabama pines
                   Am                   C                F
Or take me to Tuscaloosa, plant me under the fifty yard line
                C                      Em
Put me in an old truck, a four door Chevrolet
                   Am               Em             F
Drive me down to Guntersville and park me by the lake
    Am                  Em              F
Or take me to Toomer's Corner, put me under an oak tree
  Am              Em                F
Give 'em toilet paper till they mummify me
       Em                              C Em Am Em F
I'll rest in peace, if they bury me in Dixie
 
 
[Verse 3]
     C                              Em
Well lay me by my daddy, and my grandpa just the same
         Am             Em             F
I want every headstone next to me to read my last name
  C                                 Em
Take me back to Jacksonville, drive me up Mountain Street
 Am           Em                 F
Lead me into old Paul Snow and show me to my seat
      Am             Em             F
When God decides it time for us to meet
           Em          C
Won't you bury me in Dixie
 
 
[Verse 4]
  C                    Em
Where hard work is a plow
              Am                 Em              F
I wish Robert E. Lee could come back and take a bow
                      C                              Em
Take me to the Flora-Bama and set me up at the mullet toss
           Am               Em                 F
Everybody drinks on me, I don't care what it cost
    Am             Em                F
Or take me to Talladega, spread my ashes in turn three
 Am               Em          F
Paint my casket black with a big ass number three
       Em                             C Em Am Em F
I'll rest in peace, if they bury me in Dixie
 
 
[Outro]
       Am          Em         F
Won't God bless Alabama from sea to Tennesse
       Em                               C
I'll rest in peace, if they bury me in Dixie
