MISC TRADITIONAL - DIXIE CHORDS

Tuning: E A D G B E

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dixie --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Written by: Trad. / Daniel Decatur Emmett Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard "Dixie", also known as "I Wish I Was in Dixie", "Dixie's Land", and other titles, is a popular American song. It is one of the most distinctively American musical products of the 19th century, and probably the best-known song to have come out of blackface minstrelsy. Although not a folk song at its creation, "Dixie" has since entered the American folk vernacular. The song likely cemented the word "Dixie" in the American vocabulary as a toponym for the Southern United States.
