Trad.
Played by Bob Dylan and band in Masked and Anonymous (2003)
Tabbed by Eyolf Østrem
Someone, probably Dylan, plays the F (or something like it) in the
refrain straight through the following D, and embellishes the
following G with a C/g-G figure. The second time, the F is played
right through the G as well. Economy of means, I think it's
called...
The Csus4 in the last line of the refrain could just as well be played
as an F (or for that matter, as a G – works just as well).
C I wish I was in the land of cotton F Old times there are not forgotten C Look away, look away G C Look away, Dixieland In Dixieland where I was born, Early on one frosty morning Look away, Look away, Look away, Dixieland
C F D G I wish I was in Dixie, away, away C F In Dixieland I'll take my stand C G to live and die in Dixie, C G C Csus4 C Away, away, away down south in Dixie C G C Csus4 C Away, away, away down south in Dixie
[instr. verse] In Dixieland where I was born, Early on one frosty morn Look away, Look away, Look away, Dixieland
I wish I was in Dixie, away, away In Dixieland I'll take my stand to live and die in Dixie, Away, away, away down south in Dixie Away, away, away down south in Dixie
