Crossin' Dixie

[A] [E] [D]

[A] Tired of my surroun[E]dings, I need a li[D]ttle time away from home
[A] Tired of livin that na[E]rrow road, I got the ur[D]ge to roam
[A] I packed up my sad[E]dle bags, I'm hea[D]din on down the line
[A] Lookin back on that lit[E]tle town, Lord I'm lea[D]vin it far behind.

 As I was crossin di[A]xie thinkin th[E]at I, I'd ne[D]ver see her again
 Crossin di[A]xie I got my st[E]eel horse la[D]id back in the wind
 Those fi[A]elds I plowed and sta[E]rry nights I kn[D]ow I'm sure to miss
 How could the be[A]st of old Milw[E]aukee be any bet[D]ter than this
 As I was crossin di[A]xie  [E]    [D]        [A]          [E]            [D]

 I took a l[A]eft on that old hig[E]hway, determ[D]ined to give it my best
 With an o[A]pen mind and a wo[E]rld of time I was he[D]adin west
 The Cal[A]arado Roc[E]kies started co[D]min into view
 It was like no[A]thin I'd e[E]ver seen, or e[D]ver knew

 As I was crossin De[A]nver, thinkin t[E]hat I, I'd fo[D]und me a new home
 Crossin De[A]nver now I rea[E]lized, [D]why I decided to roam
 Some pe[A]ople say it's he[E]aven, and by the lo[D]oks I could agree
 It took l[A]ots of time for [E]me to find that it's m[D]uch to high for me

 Cause th[Bm]eres somethin bout a sou[A]thern wind while it's whi[G]stlin through the
pi[D]nes
 And the mi[Bm]ghty arms of the gr[A]eat white oaks been ho[G]ldin me just f[D]ine
 T[Bm]heres somethin bout a souther[A]n bell that always keeps [G]me in line [D]
 And it a[Bm]ll came clear as my ho[A]rse was nearin that ma[G]son dixon l[D]ine

 As I was crossin di[A]xie co[E]min home, I'm co[D]min home to stay
 Crossin di[A]xie I learned my le[E]sson in the t[D]ime I was away
 Bout crossin di[A]xie   [E]     [D]
