[Verse]
      F    Fsus  F    Bb/F  F   Am           Dm Am 
I was born right here,        November '43
Dm Bb             Bb/D           F/C    Fsus  F
     My dad was a captain in the army 
Dm           C6         Bb
Fighting the Germans in Sicily
   F    Fsus   F    Bb/F  F              Am          Dm Am 
My poor little momma       didn't know a soul in LA
Dm     Bb               Bb/D  F/C                  C        F
 So we went down to the union station and made our getaway


[Chorus]
           F                     Am    Dm   Am    Dm Am
Got on the Dixie Flyer bound for New Orleans
Bb         Bb/D     F/C          A/C#    Dm     F/C  Bb
Across the state of Texas to the land of dreams
       F                     Am    Dm   Am    Dm Am
On the Dixie Flyer bound for New Orleans
Bb          Bb/D            F/C           C       F
Back to her friends and her family in the land of dreams


[Middle 8]
Dm                      Am             Bb
 Her own mother came to meet us at the station,
Dm                       Am             Bb
 Her dress as black as a crow in a coal mine
Gm                              Dm          Eb   
 She cried when her little girl got off the train
Dm                                            Am            Bb
 Her brothers and her sisters drove down from Jackson, Mississippi
Dm                                   Am           Bb 
 In a great green Hudson driven by a gentile they knew
Gm                          Dm           Eb
Drinkin' rye whiskey from a flask in the back seat
          F           C        Bb
Tryin' to do like the gentiles do
             F            C         Bb
Christ, they wanted to be gentiles, too
    F             C               Bb
Who wouldn't down there, wouldn't you?
    F   C        Dm    Bb
An American Christian, God damn!


[Chorus]
       F                     Am    Dm   Am    Dm Am
On the Dixie Flyer bound for New Orleans
Bb         Bb/D     F/C          A/C#    Dm     F/C  Bb
Across the state of Texas to the land of dreams
       F                     Am    Dm   Am    Dm Am
On the Dixie Flyer bound for New Orleans
Bb          Bb/D            F/C           C       F
Back to her friends and her family in the land of dreams
Bb          Bb/D            F/C           C       F
Back to her friends and her family in the land of dreams
