[Verse 1]
C                        C7
If you've ever seen that ole Mississippi
    F                  A7
The queen of the delta land
                 D7
Then you'll understand
G7               C         C Ab7 G7* Ab7 C
Why I've got the Blues... (for Dixie)

[Verse 2]
C                      C7
If you've ever been to Tennessee when
      F                     A7
Those old cotton fields are white
             D7
In pale moon light
G7                  C         C Ab7 G7* Ab7 C
Then you've had the Blues... (for Dixie)

[Chorus]
C                  C7     C         C7
If you've seen the glamor of that Alabama
C            C7
Moon shining in the sky
   D7
If you've got a baby, in Birmingham maybe
G7
You'll know the reason why

[Verse 3]
         C
That I'm gonna be blue
         C7
Till I'm on that old choo choo
F                   A7
Heading down South again
                D7
There goes that train
G7                C        C Ab7 G7* Ab7 C
That's leaving me Blue... (for Dixie)

[Chorus]
C                  C7     C         C7
If you've seen the glamor of the Alabama
C            C7
Moon shining in the sky
   D7
If you've got a baby, down in Birmingham maybe
G7
You'll know the reason why

[Verse 3]
