  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 

  for note, PLEASE let me know):

  E------------------------0--3--6--5--3--7--5--3-----------then-either:---15,

  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.
