The Band - The night they drove old dixie down

^Am Virgil Ca^Cine is the name, and I ^Fserved on the Danville ^Dmtrain, ^Am 'Til Stoneman's ^CCalvery came and ^Ftore up the tracks ^Dmagain. ^Am In the winter of '^F65, We were ^Chungry, just barely ^Dmalive. ^Am By May the tenth, ^FRichmond had fell, it's a ^Ctime I ^Dmremember, oh so ^Dwell,

The ^CNight They ^Fmaj7Drove Old Dixie ^CDown, and the ^Fmaj7bells were ringing, The ^CNight They ^Fmaj7Drove Old Dixie ^CDown, and the ^Fmaj7people were singin'. They went C Am Gsus4 Fsus4 F (end on C last chorus) La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La

^Am Back with my wife in ^CTennessee, When ^Fone day she called to ^Dmme, ^Am "Vir^Cgil, quick, come ^Fsee, there goes Rober^Dmt E. Lee!" ^Am Now I don't mind ^Fchoppin' wood, and I don't ^Ccare if the ^Dmmoney's no good. ^Am Ya take what ya need and ya ^Fleave the rest, But they ^Cnever should have ^Dmtaken the very ^Dbest.

^Am Like my father bef^Core me, ^FI will work the ^Dmland, ^Am Like my brother abo^C--ve me, who ^Ftook a rebel ^Dmstand. ^Am He was just eighteen, ^Fproud and brave, But a ^CYankee laid him in his ^Dmgrave, ^Am I swear by the mud ^Fbelow my feet, You can't ^Craise a Caine back ^Dmup when he's in ^Ddefeat.
