[Verse 1]
C I'm a charger Am That charges through the night F Like an orange bolt of lightning F Passing everything in sight G Am I'm the best pal the Duke boys ever had F Dm G I'm thunder on the highway looking bad, bad, bad
[Verse 2]
C I'm a knight Am Like the kind in shining armor F With my polished body gleaming F I'm a fighter and a charmer G Am If trouble comes your way just ask for me F G C My friends all know me as the General Lee
(= Link to Chorus)
[Chorus]
F I'm the General Lee F Em A piston pumpin' steel belted cavalry Em Dm I'll never let you down when you're riding with me F G C C/Bb C/A C/G Buckle up and I'll show you what I mean F Take a look back there F Em Sirens blowing, red lights flashing everywhere Em Dm We'll cross the field and we'll be runnin' free F G Am F G They'll eat dust with compliments of me Am The General Lee
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
C I'm a hero Am And that's how I'll make you feel F When you're riding shotgun with me F And the law is at your heels G Am I'm glory bound and when the chase is done F G I'll take off through the mountains and have fun, fun, fun
[Verse 4]
C I've got style Am Tearing through the curves F F Let my flag wave proudly to the people that I serve G Am I'm number 1 and I will always be F G C The pride of the South they call the General Lee
