Dixie Lulaby

Written by Patrick Davis/Pat Green/Justin Andrew Pollard

	  		Intro 
Am    C    G        Am    F    C 

Verse One: 
              G                  Am           
My father had skin like leather, hands like steel 
       C                        G   D 
From a lifetime spent in cotton fields 
                G                                Am      
And though he'd come home tired and dirty almost every night 
             C                           D 
He found the strength to smile at me and hold my mama tight 
           Am                                  Em 
While that old transistor radio would play the Opry out in the hall 
            C                                    D 
I'd sit and watch their shadows glide across the wall

Am C G And they danced to a Dixie lullaby Am C G A picture of love beneath the southern sky F C Am C G Oh my what a beautiful life, just like a Dixie lullaby

Verse Two: I left home at eighteen in a hand-me-down Chevrolet Packed with my momma's cooking and my old man's stubborn ways It was college, work and love and then the babies came The youngest one got his granddaddy's name And in the early morning hours when my children could not sleep I'd rock them in my arms to a gentle beat Chorus Two: I sang them a Dixie lullaby Hush baby don't you start to cry Oh my what a beautiful life, just like a Dixie lullaby Break Am C G Am F C Verse Three: My father was a mountain of a man, that was the description that I gave The morning that we laid him in his grave There with my mama by his side, I said my last goodbye To a man I thought would never die And as I stood there in that field of amazing grace Oh how the tears ran down my face Chorus Three: And I sang him a Dixie lullaby We'll meet again by and by Oh my what a beautiful life, just like a Dixie lullaby F C Am C G Oh my what a beautiful life, just like a Dixie lullaby Outro Chords Am C F C G
