The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down

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"
