Dixie Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][A][G][D][A]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[D]With our arms
around each other
Drinking
[A]Dixie in the gutter
Wait[G]ing for the sunrise again
[D]Watching all the street cars
Some [A]tourists in cigar bars
drink[G]ing martinis and [D]gin
You tell some stories,
[A]we both tell some lies
[Bm]Under the pale black [D]skies[G]
And every now and then
we'll be [A]here again
In the [G]gutter drinking
[A]Dixie, my [D]friend[A][G][D]
[A][G][D]
All the people we meet playin' [A]music in the streets,
singin' the [G]cocaine blues till [D]dawn.
We'd talk and spend big down [A]at the
Blind
Pig for [G]one more round [D]and a song
Passing our time with [A]whiskey and wine
and [Bm]women that never stayed [G]long
Some came from
France, [A]some came from
Chance, but the be[G]st came [A]from the
[D]Midwest
We [G]traveled down rivers,
[A]we traveled down roads
We [D]traveled down,
[A]broke through the [D]rain [Bm]and the snow
Lean[E]ing on the shoulders of highways
that abused us like friends
[A]We cau[G]ght those trains just lik[A]e a disease
With our [D]heads in the cloud[A]s
and [Bm]our heart on its knees
Looking [E]for something that
we may never [A]find
[D]Jake had rambled, took all [A]he handled
[G]Augie, you know he's just
bound [D]to die[A]
[D]Sometimes I miss it, [A]mostly I don't
Sometimes [G]I break d[D]own, a[G]sk w[D]hy
Why are things this way?
[A]What makes things that way?
In [Bm]which way, if any way, is right
[G]Well, I'm alone with my friends
I'm [A]down in my cell
In the [G]gutter, drinkin'
[A]Dixie [D]again[A][G][D]
[A][G]
You
