Bury Me In Southern Ground(Acoustic Version from Deo Vindice Album)- Rebel Son
(Em)
I was born in Dixie land Un(G)reconstructed till the end
In (D)Carolina I was raised by my grand(A)daddy in my daddy's ways(Em)
They both thought me right from wrong How to (G)fight and how to get along
But my (D)own life now is almost gone in (A)southern ground I belong.(Em)
My final hour is drawing near so (G)friend come sit by me right here
Let's(D) laugh and talk about our lives and the(A) good ol days before I die.(Em)
Please give your word this vow you keep when (G)I return to earth to sleep.
Let me (D)dream forever under southern land with a (A)Dixie flag tied in my hand.(Em)
Chorus
(G)Friend, when my (D)time has come, be(Em)fore they lay me down to (C)rest
(G)Friend, in my time of (D)darkness, please (Em)grant me just this one last re(C)quest
(G)Dixie(Em)land is where I wanna (C)make my final (G)sta(D)nd,
I don't (G)care if I'm in a (D)box or not when they(Em) lay me (C)down,
Just (G)bury (B7)me in southern (Em)ground.
One last look at the country side be(G)fore I close my weary eyes
(D)Southern air for my last breath here (A)comes my sweet angel of death(Em)
Sing Dixie while they lower me so I'll (G)hear it for eternity
(D)I can feel the reapers touch (A)*ashes to ashes dust to dust(Em)
Chorus
(G)Friend, when my (D)time has come, be(Em)fore they lay me down to (C)rest
(G)Friend, in my time of (D)darkness, please (Em)grant me just this one last re(C)quest
(G)Dixie(Em)land is where I wanna (C)make my final (G)sta(D)nd,
I don't (G)care if I'm in a (D)box or not when they(Em) lay me (C)down,
Just (G)bury (B7)me in southern (Em)ground.
Oh I (G)*wish I was in the (D)*land of cotton (Em)old times there are not forgotten
look a(G)way look away look a(D)way
(G)Dixie(Em)land is where I wanna (C)make my final (G)sta(D)nd,
I don't (G)care if I'm in a (D)box or not when they(Em) lay me (C)down,
Just (G)bury (B7)me in southern (Em)ground.
