The Ballad Of Shine Marley

E E Shine Marley was a grey coat soldier, proud as he was poor A E Loved a Tennessee girl by the name of Nora Jane, but he loved fightin’ Yankees more A Rode off on a sway back mule, early on one frosty morn' E B7 E Died on the field at Shiloh, 21 years from the day he was born A E Oh my soul cries out for Nora, all up and down the line B7 E Oh my soul cries out for Nora, wake up darlin’, it’s ole Shine E Old times there were long forgotten, after Shine’s last stand A E Nora Jane was left to face the years alone in the ruins of Dixieland A There was none so fair, and never one so true E B7 E At night he climbs her stairs to dust the Shiloh on his shoes A E Oh my soul cries out for Nora, all up and down the line B7 E Oh my soul cries out for Nora, wake up darlin’, it’s ole Shine A E Yeah my soul cries out for Nora, she shall remain forever mine B7 E Oh my soul cries out for Nora, wake up darlin’ it’s ole Shine
