Em          D           G            C        A        D/F# A D/F#
Well there's a peach tree on a hill in northern Georgia
Em          D           G          B      Em     Em  Fm Em Fm
Where a teenage boy sits starin' at the ground
Em      D           G         C        A     D/F# A D/F#
Soon he'll leave to join the rebel soldiers
Em        D           G         B      E      A  Em
For the Cumberland and Nashville he is bound

Em      D         G           C                 A      D/F# A D/F#
He goes down to ride with the Bedford Forrest Calvery
Em      D            G         B        Em       Em  Fm
He could shoot a man at a hundred yards or more
Em       D             G       C         A       D/F# A D/F#
But he knows he's just like any other soldier
Em          D         G           B        Em    A  Em
If they spill his blood he'll never ride no more

[Chorus 1]
Em     G  A                                 Em
Don't you know I'm just a lonesome boy from dixie
D                      B     Em
Help me lord I feel so all alone
A                                      Em
Don't you know I'm a lonesome boy from dixie
C       D          G    B         Em
Gone to war and I just wanna get home

Em           D            G        C        A          D/F# A D/F#
When the battle started the rebels were outnumbered
 Em          D        G           B        Em       Fm Em
They shot his leg with an angry cannonball
 Em         D         G         C        A  D/F# A D/F#
The medic came and said we'll all be lucky
Em         D        G        B        Em         A  Em
If the boy from Georgia makes it home at all


[Chorus 2]
Em     G  A                                 Em
Don't you know I'm just a lonesome boy from dixie
D                      B     Em
Help me lord I feel so all alone
A                                      Em
Don't you know I'm a lonesome boy from dixie
C       D          G    B         Em
Gone to war and I just wanna get home

Well there's a peach tree on a hill in northern Georgia
Em          D         G           B        Em        Fm  Em
Where a horse stands like a statue made of stone
Em          D           G     C        A      D/F# A D/F#
Flowers bless a grave down in the meadow
Em          D     G     B               Em      A  Em
Now the lonesome boy from dixie's made it home
