Johnny Cash – Johnny Reb (Guitar)

E                                 A
You fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb

E                             A 
You fought all the way Johnny Reb 

E                                 A                                     
Saw you a marchin' with Robert E. Lee

    E 
You held your head a-high tryin' to win the victory

    A                                           E     
You fought for your folks but you didn't die in vain

                                               A
Even though you lost they speak highly of your name 

E                                               A 
'Cause you fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb

You fought all the way Johnny Reb

  E                                      A                                 
I heard your teeth chatter from the cold outside

 E
Saw the bullets open up the wounds in your side

  A                                   E  
I saw the young boys as they begin to fall

    E                                                  A                                       
You had tears in your eyes 'cause you couldn't help at all 

    E                                        A 
But you fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb

    E                         A
You fought all the way Johnny Reb 

  E                                      A                       
I saw General Lee raise the saber in his hand

 B7
Heard the cannon's roar as you made your last stand 

            A                                   E    
You marched in the battle with the gray and the red

                                                       A                                     
When the cannon's smoke cleared took days to count the dead 

E                                               A 
'Cause you fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb

    E                         A 
You fought all the way Johnny Reb

E                                           A                              
When "Honest Abe" heard the news about your fall

    E                                            
The folks thought he'd call a great victory ball

       A                               E   
But he asked the band to play the song Dixie

                                    A                       
For you Johnny Reb and all that you believed

 E                                               A
'Cause you fought all the way Johnny Reb  Johnny Reb 

     E                             A
