 G                       G7
If you've ever seen that ol' Mississippi,
    C                  E7
The queen of the delta land,
                 A7    D7
Then you'll understand,
                 G   C     G   D7
Why I've got the blues for Dixie
   G                         G7           
If you've ever been down in Tennessee when
           C                 E7
Those old cotton fields were white,
             A7    D7
In pale moon light,
                    G    C    G
Then you've had the blues for Dixie

CHORUS 
 G                                        
If you've seen the glamour of the Alabama 
 G                           A7               
Moon shining in the sky,  If you've got a baby,
                                                D   D7
Down in Birmingham, maybe you'll know the reason why
          G                      G7                
That I'm gonna be blue till I'm on that old choo choo,
 C                  E7
Headin' down south again.
                A7     D7                 G  C  G     D7
There goes that train, That's leavin' me blue for Dixie.
