[Verse 1]
He had a [F] Martin I had a Fender, we were [Bb] thirteen years of age
[F]Out back in the tool shed, we were [C] searchin' for the same
Every[F]day all through that summer, we'd [Bb] rock n roll and rage
All the [F] neighbors kept complainin', but it [C] never slowed us [F] down.
|[Chorus]
|We sang [Bb] Three Verses of Dixie, Can't [F] Get No Satisfaction [Bb]
|Rainy Women Numbers [F] 12 and 3[C]5

Verse 2:
[F] Moved out to California, [Bb] shootin' for the stars
The [F] biggest thing since Elvis, [C] nothin' could go wrong
But they [F] took us for all our money, and [Bb] everything else we owned
So we [F] got ourselves some whiskey, and we [C] drank it all night [F] long.

|We sang [Bb] Three Verses of Dixie, Can't [F] Get No Satisfaction [Bb]
|Rainy Women, and A [F] Bad Moon On The [C] Rise

Bridge:
Oh we [D] never quite got [Bb] over it, we [F] when out separate [C] ways [D]
He traded in his [Bb] music for cocaine [F] nights, and reckless [C] days
Still I [Bb] knew he always [F] wanted, to make one last [C] journey [Bb] home.
Verse 3:
Near a [F] small white church in the valley, [Bb] beneath a wooden bridge [F]
Patiently we waited, on that [C] cold Alabama rain
Then the [F] preacher started preachin', about [Bb] lives and about our times
The [F] sun was slowly sinkin', as we [C] laid his body [F] down.
|[Chorus 3]
|We sang [Bb] Three Verses of Dixie, What a [F] Friend We Have In Jesus [Bb]
|Walkin' In The Garden, and The [F] Old Rugged [C] Cross
