All the Fneighbors kept complainin?, but it Cnever slowed us Fdown.

FMoved out to California, Bbshootin? for the stars
The Fbiggest thing since Elvis, Cnothin? could go wrong
But they Ftook us for all our money, and Bbeverything else we owned
So we Fgot ourselves some whiskey, and we Cdrank it all night Flong.
[Chorus 2]
We sang BbThree Verses of Dixie, Can?t FGet No SatisfactionBb

He traded in his Bbmusic for cocaine Fnights, and reckless Cdays
Still I Bbknew he always Fwanted, to make one last Cjourney Bbhome.
Near a Fsmall white church in the valley, Bbbeneath a wooden bridgeF  
Patiently we waited, on that Ccold Alabama rain
Then the Fpreacher started preachin?, about Bblives and about our times
The Fsun was slowly sinkin?, as we Claid his body Fdown.
[Chorus 3]
We sang BbThree Verses of Dixie, What a FFriend We Have In JesusBb
