The stuff: 
 
A, Bm, C#m, D, Eb 
 
E                       A     D 
Showboat coming up the river 
         F#m             E               A 
See her lanterns flicker in the gentle breeze 
E                                      A        D 
I can hear the crickets singing in the evening 
     F#m        G               D 
Old Dixie Lily moving past the cypress trees 
 
E                         A    D 
My little boat she rocks easy 
           F#m             E                 A 
I've been catching catfish in the creek all day 
             E                                   A         D 
Oh and I've never seen ladies like those on the big boats 
         F#m            G                  D 
Must be fancy breeding lets you live that way 
 
A                             D 
Dixie Lily, chugging like a grand old lady 
 A                                   E 
Paddles hitting home in the noonday sun 
  A                    G     F#m                 F 
Ploughing through the water with your whistles blowing 
 F#m            E                     A   Bm  C#m  D  Eb 
Down from Louisiana on the Vicksburg run 
 
E                      A      D 
Papa says that I'm a dreamer 
            F#m          E             A 
Says them skeetas bit me one too many times 
          E                                A     D 
Oh but I never get lonesome living on the river 
 F#m               G                 D 
Watching old Lily leave the world behind 
 
A                             D 
Dixie Lily, chugging like a grand old lady 
 A                                   E 
Paddles hitting home in the noonday sun 
  A                    G     F#m                 F 
Ploughing through the water with your whistles blowing 
 F#m            E                     A   Bm  C#m  D  Eb 
Down from Louisiana on the Vicksburg run 
 
E, A, D 
F#m, E, A 
E, A, D 
F#m, G, D 
 
      A                             D 
Oooh, Dixie Lily, chugging like a grand old lady 
 A                                   E 
Paddles hitting home in the noonday sun 
  A                    G     F#m                 F 
Ploughing through the water with your whistles blowing 
 F#m            E                     A   D 
Down from Louisiana on the Vicksburg run, oooh 
 F#m            E                     A   D  E  D  A 
Down from Louisiana on the Vicksburg run
