 D                 Em    A7                     Dma7
 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.
 D               Em    A7                    Dma7
 Its windy in Chicago.  The kids are out of school.
                 Em       A7                  Dma7  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.
