Crossin Dixie

intro: A E D

verse 1:
A                   E            
 Tired of my surroundings, I need
     D
 a little time away from home
A                      E         
 Tired of livin that narrow road,
             D
 I got the urge to roam
A                  E             
 I packed up my saddle bags, I'm 
   D
headin on down the line
A                       E        
 Lookin back on that little town,
             D
 Lord I'm leavin it far behind.

chorus:
                    A             
 As I was crossin dixie thinkin 
E           D
that I, I'd never see her again
           A              E       
 Crossin dixie I got my steel 
    D
horse laid back in the wind
         A                    E   
 Those fields I plowed and starry 
           D
nights I know I'm sure to miss
                 A             E  
 How could the best of old 
             D
Milwaukee be any better than this
                    A    E D   A E D
 As I was crossin dixie

verse 2:
           A                  E   
 I took a left on that old 
        D
highway, determined to give it my 
best
          A                E      
 With an open mind and a world of 
             D
time I was headin west
        A        E              D
 The Calarado Rockies started comin 
into view
               A         E        
 It was like nothin I'd ever seen,
     D
 or ever knew

chorus:
                    A            
 As I was crossin Denver, thinkin 
  E            D
that I, I'd found me a new home
           A             E      D
 Crossin Denver now I realized, why 
I decided to roam
        A               E         
 Some people say it's heaven, and 
         D
by the looks I could agree
          A               E       
 It took lots of time for me to 
              D
find that it's much to high for me

bridge:
         Bm                  
 Cause theres somethin bout a 
    A                        G
southern wind while it's whistlin 
through the
  D
pines
           Bm                 A   
 And the mighty arms of the great 
                  G             D
white oaks been holdin me just fine
  Bm

A                        G       
bell that always keeps me in line
   D

         Bm                    A  
 And it all came clear as my horse
                   G          D
 was nearin that mason dixon line

        D
