              (verse 1) 
D                 Em    A7                     D7+ 
By now in New York City.  There's snow on the ground. 
                Em     A7                      D    D7 
And out in California.  The sunshines' falling down. 
                 G        A7                  D     Bm 
And maybe down in Memphis, Graceland's all in lights. 
               Em       A7                         D 
And in Atlanta, Georgia, there's peace on earth tonight. 
 
D           G      A7                   D     Bm 
Christmas in Dixie, its snowing in the pines. 
                    Em     A7            D 
Merry Christmas from Dixie to everyone tonight. 
 
(verse 2) 
D               Em    A7                    D7+ 
Its windy in Chicago.  The kids are out of school. 
                Em       A7                  D7+  D7 
There's magic in Motown.  The city's on the move. 
                G      A7                 D     Bm 
In Jackson, Mississippi to Charlotte, Caroline. 
                  Em      A7                       D 
And all across the Nation, its a peaceful Christmas time. 
 
D           G      A7                  D      Bm 
Christmas in Dixie, its snowing in the pines. 
                    Em     A7             D 
Merry Christmas from Dixie, to everyone tonight. 
                        Em   A7                 D 
And from Fort Payne, Alabama..Merry Christmas tonight.
