Dixie Babylon Lyrics

Cracker Dixie Babylon

SECTION 1:
A-E-F#m-(slide down to E)-D(sus4)
A-E-F#m-(slide down to E)-D(sus4)

SECTION 2:
D-E-F#m-C#m-D-Bm-E(7)
D-E-F#m-C#m-D-Bm-E(7)

A We went down to the E old part of town
By the F#m stinking canal and the cotton (slide down to E)-D(sus4) mill
Under a A ghetto palm with her E bicycle shorts on
With a F#m gesture she (slide down to E) said to D(sus4) me

D I E really must con-F#m-fess
C#m I'd like to D get undressed Bm with E(7) you
D And though the E thought had never really F#m crossed my mind,
C#m Oh, but D that was a lie Bm So we went a-E(7)-long

We ran out under the turning leaves
And the fetid earth, it was damp and cool
Autumn's feeble light on her salty neck
All innocence it was lost

I really must confess
I'm feeling quite distressed, my stars are always crossed
But I have always taken more than I have given back
And as a matter of fact, I've given nothing up

REPEAT SECTION 1

REPEAT SECTION 2 TO FINISH

END CHORD: A
