Subject: an Alabama song

Here are the chords to Alabama's "Dixieland Delight", written by Ronnie Rogers

Tablature additions gladly welcomed.

G D Em C G D Cm G

verse 1:

[G] Rollin' down-a backwoods

Tennessee by-[D]-way

[Em]One arm on the [C] wheel

Holdin' my [G] lover

With the [D] other

[Em]A sweet, soft Southern [C] thrill

Worked hard all [Em] week

Got a little [D] jingle

On a [Em] Tennessee Saturday [C] night

Couldn't feel [G] better

I'm to-[D]-gether with my [Cm] Dixieland Delight[G]

Cho:Spend my [D] dollar

Park in a [Em] holler 'neath the mountain moon-[C]-light

Hold her [G] up tight

Make a little [D] lovin'

A little turtle-[Em]-dovin' on a mason-Dixon [C] night

Fits my [Em] life

Oh, so [C] right

My [Cm] Dixieland De-[G]-light

A simplified version of the solo after 1st chorus (if anybody knows it note

B-0(pm)-3-(0)-0-------3--------------------------------------------------------|or do a G-harmonic
G---------------2--------------------------------------------------------------|
D------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
A------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
E------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

Verse 2: (same chords as the first)

White-tail buck deer

Munchin' on clover

Red-tail hawk

Sittin' on a limb

Chubby old groundhog

Croakin' bullfrog

Free as a feelin' in the wind

Homegrown country girl

Gonna give me a whirl

on a Tennessee Saturday night

Lucky as a seven

Livin' in heaven

with my Dixieland Delight

(repeat cho)

a few strange chord progressions follow the 2nd chorus; something like

C, D, Em a couple of times, and I believe the key changes to A (so, of

course, either capo the 2nd fret now, or play all the chords a whole step

higher than they are written here)

a fiddle solo ensues, and the tempo increases and they fade out, singing

verse one again.
