[Chorus]
G                                          D         
When the roses bloom in Dixieland, I'll be coming 
     G
back to you
G                                             A7     
When the birds are singing music grand to the 
              D
sweetest girl I ever knew
D7                   G        C                      
I'll be saving up my money to build a little cabin 
       G
home for two
G                                          D         
When the roses bloom in Dixieland, I'll be coming 
     G
back to you

[Verse 2]
       G                                           
When I left my honey at the railroad train I said, 
D               G
honey, wait for me
    G                                                  
I'm going up north to make some money you see then I'll
 D                  G
 head for old Tennessee
G                                          D         
When the roses bloom in Dixieland, I'll be coming 
     G
back to you

[Verse 3]
 G                                                D   
I just got a letter from the sunny south from my girl 
          G
in Tennessee
       G                                          
She said she loved me like she used to do and was 
A7                D
waiting there for me
D7                       G       C            G
I have answered back her letter, I am so far away
G                                          D         
When the roses bloom in Dixieland, I'll be going back
    G
 to stay
