• E

words and music: Mann/Weil

E    C
Lazy moon,
F                 E
magnolia bloom perfume
     Am           D       Am  D
that Dixie will receive...
  Am          G
A lady fading fast
      F               G
still clinging to the past
    Dm          Em        A      (Bm C#m)
and she had you hating to leave...

Chorus:

D        Em     A7
So long, Dixie, sweet Dixie girl 
             G    D
You sure had style 
D         D7
Recalling times we've had 
     G        G/F#     Em
With all your good and bad 
A7                       D     B
I'm glad I had you for a while 

II:

When we get the blues 
We just shine up our shoes 
And head for Dixie's place 
We sit ourselves right down 
And pass the Bourbon round 
Let Dixie get on the case 

Chorus

III(upper with a semitone):

Years go by, some memories fade and die 
But, Dixie, you still shine 
Now up here where it's cold 
Folks don't understand your soul 
Dixie, you're still part of mine 

Chorus(x4)+fade...
