Johnny Cash – The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down (Guitar)

Am                 C
Virgil Caine is my name

      F                      Am
And I served on the Danville train

 C               Am
'Till Stoneman's cavalry came

     F                   Am
And tore up the tracks again

F                  C
In the winter of '65

 Am              F          Am
We were hungry, just barely alive

F                Am
By May the 10th, Richmond had fell

        C       Am            D
It's a time I remember, oh so well

   C            Am        F     C
The night they drove old Dixie down

          Am
And the bells were ringing

     C          Am        F     C
The night they drove old Dixie down

          Am
And the people were singing

            C               Am
They went, "Na, na, na, na, na, na na

D           F       
Na, na, na, na, na, na na"

Am                   C
Back with my wife in Tennessee

         F                 Am
When one day she called to me

F              Am               
Said "Virgil, quick, come see, Virgil,

F                          Am  
There goes the Robert E. Lee!"

F                 C
Now, I don't mind chopping wood

    Am                    F
And I don't care if the money's no good

    Am
You take what you need

        F
And you leave the rest

         C
But they never should

     Am             D
Have taken the very best

   C            Am        F     C
The night they drove old Dixie down

          Am
And the bells were ringing

     C          Am        F     C
The night they drove old Dixie down

          Am
And the people were singing

            C               Am
They went, "Na, na, na, na, na, na na

D           F       
Na, na, na, na, na, na na"

Am               C
Like my father before me

F               Am
I will work the land

C                    Am
And like my brother above me

F                Am
Who took a rebel stand

       F        C
He was just 18, proud and brave

      Am              F
But a Yankee laid him in his grave

  Am                 F
I swear by the mud below my feet

    C                        Am
You can't raise a Caine back up

               D
When he's in defeat

   C           Am        F     C
The night they drove old Dixie down

        Am
And the bells were ringing

    C          Am        F     C
The night they drove old Dixie down

        Am
And the people were singing

            C               Am
They went, "Na, na, na, na, na, na na

D           F       
Na, na, na, na, na, na na"

    C          Am        F     C
The night they drove old Dixie down

        Am
And the bells were ringing

    C          Am        F     C
The night they drove old Dixie down

        Am
And the people were singing

            C               Am
They went, "Na, na, na, na, na, na na

D           F       
Na, na, na, na, na, na na"
