The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down Chords by Johnny Cash

_ [F#] _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ Virgil [D] Kane is my name, [G] and I served on the Danville [Bm] train,
_ _ _ [D] Till the Stoneman's [Bm] cavalry came [G] and tore up the tracks [Bm] again.
_ _ _ [G] In the winter of [D] sixty-five, we were [Bm] hungry, just [G] barely alive.
By _ [Bm] May tenth, Richmond had fell, and [D] it's a time that [Bm] I remember oh [E] so well.
_ _ _ _ [D] The night [Bm] they drove old Dixie [D] down, and [Bm] all the bells were ringing.
[D] The night [Bm] they drove old Dixie [D] down, and [Bm] all the people were singing.
They [D] went, na na [Bm] na na na na na, [E] na na na na [G] na na na na na na na na. _ _

_ Back with my wife [D] in Tennessee, [G] and one day she [Bm] said to me, _
_ [D] _ _ _ [Bm] Virgil, quick come see, [G] Virgil, there goes a Robert [Bm] E.
Lee. _
_ [G] _ Now I don't [D] mind chopping wood, _ [Bm] and I don't care [G] if the money's no good.
[Bm] Just take what you need, and [G] you leave the rest.
But [D] they never should [C#] have [Bm] taken the [E] very _ _ _ best.
_ [D] The night [Bm] they drove [G] old Dixie [D] down, and [Bm] all the bells were ringing.
[D] The night they [Bm] drove old [D] Dixie down, [Bm] and all the people were singing.
[D] They went, na na [Bm] na na na na na, [E] na na na na [G] na na na na na _ _ _ [D] _ _ [C#] _
_ [Bm] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ [Bm] na na na na.
Like my father [D] before me, _ [G] _ I will work [Bm] the land.
_ _ [D] _ Like my brother [Bm] above me, [G] he took the [Bm] rebel's stand.
He [G] was just eighteen, [D] proud and brave, [Bm] and a Yankee [G] laid him in his grave.
[Bm] I swear by the mud [G] below my feet, [D] you can't raise a king [Bm] back up for any Cindy [E] P. _
_ _ _ _ [D] The night [Bm] they drove [G] old Dixie [D] down, and [Bm] all the bells were ringing.
