Verse 
          G                   C        D 
She had a dead-end job at the national bank 
       G                   C      D 
And a deadbeat husband who always drank 
           G                            C      D 
So when he didn't come home she had the gin to thank 
         Em   D   G  C 
For the tears in her eyes 
   Em           D            G       A 
So Dixie packed up and said her goodbyes... 


             G     C    D           
And she went driving so far away nobody's gonna find her 
G   C       D 
Flyin' just fast enough to leave it all behind her 
Em                  D                      G           C 
But she didn't know till she hit the road, deep in her soul 
Am           
She's got the fire and the fight of a gypsy 
C                               D 
Ain't nothin' stronger than the heart of Dixie

Verse 
       G                           C     D 
It's a funny thing when your world falls down 
           G                              C   D 
It's got a way of showin' you what you're all about 
    G                      C       D 
Now Dixie's got her wheels pointed south 
              Em    D    G   C 
And she ain't never look-ing back 
Em     D            G         A 
Nobody knew she was brave like that 

 
             G     C    D           
And she went driving so far away nobody's gonna find her 
G   C       D 
Flyin' just fast enough to leave it all behind her 
Em                  D                      G           C 
But she didn't know till she hit the road, deep in her soul 
Am           
She's got the fire and the fight of a gypsy 
C                               D 
Ain't nothin' stronger than the heart of Dixie

Bridge 

      G                    C         D 
Yeah, Dixie woke up to the truth one day 
            G                        C        D 
Grabbed her cheap sunglasses and her lipstick case... 


              G     C    D           
And she went driving so far away nobody's gonna find her 
G   C       D 
Flyin' just fast enough to leave it all behind her 
Em                  D                      G           C 
But she didn't know till she hit the road, deep in her soul 
Am           
She's got the fire and the fight of a gypsy 
C                               D 
Ain't nothin' stronger than the heart of Dixie 

G      C      D   
                 (the heart of Dixie) 
G      C      D 
   O-o-ooh       (the heart of Dixie) 
G       C      D    G         
        O-o-oh
