[Intro]
G C C G C C G D G
[Verse]
G
A young boy and an old man
C G
Somewhere way down in the South
D
One just turned 10 years old
G
And one ain't got long now
G
The old man served in World War II
C G
And he came home in 45
Proud as hell of the USA
D G
For that flag he'd give his life
[Verse]
G
Never been good at goodbyes
C G
It's always hard to face the end
D
He looked that young boy in his eyes
G
This is what he said
[Chorus]
C
I bet it's like Dixie
G
They have fireflies
C
And I bet my grandma
D
Is making sweet apple pie
C
If I know my old man
G C
He's working on his truck
G D
I know you're gonna miss me
G G D G
But I bet it's like Dixie
[Verse]
G
Time flies and the years pass by
C G
But some memories never fade
D
That young boy is now full grown man
G
He always does things his own way
G
He learned a lot from that old man
C G
One thing he'll never forget
D
The day that old man lost his life
G
The words that old man said
[Chorus]
C
I bet it's like Dixie
G
They have fireflies
C
And I bet my grandma
D
Is making sweet apple pie
C
If I know my old man
G C
He's working on his truck
G D
I know you're gonna miss me
G G
But I bet it's like Dixie

[Chorus]
C
I bet it's like Dixie
G
They have fireflies
C
And I bet my grandma
D
Is making sweet apple pie

If I know my old man
G C
He's working on his truck
G D
I know you're gonna miss me

But I bet it's like Dixie

I know you're gonna miss me

But I bet it's like Dixie
