I sang Dixie as he died 
 
D                                       D7
The people just walked on by as I cried 
 
                 G                         D
The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride 
 
          D  A7       D
So I sang Dixie as he died  
 
 
D
He said way down yonder in the land of cotton 
 
G                                           D
Old times there ain't near as rotten as they are
 
D                         A7
On these damned ole L.A streets 
 
D
He drew his dying breath 
 
         G
Laid his head against my chest  
 
          D             A7        D
Oh please lord take his soul back home to Dixie 
 
 
D
I sang Dixie as he died 
 
D                                       D7
The people just walked on by as I cried 
 
                 G                           D
The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride 
 
          D  A7       D
So I sang Dixie as he died  
 
 
D
He said listen to me son while you still can 
 
G
Run back home to that Southern land 
 
          D                              A7
Don't you see what life here has done to me 
 
D
Then he closed those old blue eyes 
 
     G                             D
Fell limp against my side, no more pain 
 
         A7                 D
Now his soul's back home in Dixie 
 
 
D
I sang Dixie as he died 
 
D                                       D7
the people just walked on by as I cried 
 
                G                           D
The bottle had robbed him of all his rebel pride 
 
          D  A7       D
So I sang Dixie as he died

Wrong key but otherwise good version, transpose up two steps for the correct key.
