Verse 1
(A minor) (F major) (C major) Kelly Brown was a mighty fine man
His (F major) skin was the color of the (C major) good rich land
He bought a (G major) slow -beard (A minor) mule named Dan
And (D major) broke a little piece of (G major) ground
(C major) Feared the place with his
(E minor) own bare (C major) hands
Made (F major) cotton grow in the
rocks and the (C major) sand
Thought he'd (G major) found
the prom (A minor) ised (G major) land
Till the (F major) soldiers came (G major) to (C major) town
(F major) Gather by the (C major) river
Light (A minor) a fire in the (G major) old hidden ground
Stand (F major) by the (A minor) river, they're (C major) burning
Dixie (G major) (C major) down
Kevin Brown never took a side,
always (F major) hoped the war
would pass (C major) him by
Trouble (G major) came and he (A minor) closed his eyes,
till he (D major) woke to the sound of the (G major) guns
Stole (C major) the chickens and the old milk cow,
left (F major) him nothing but a broken heart
He (C major) cried out (G major) , what can (A minor) I do now
but to (F major) wait for the (G major) kingdom come? (C major)
(F major) Gather by the (C major) river,
(A minor) light a fire in (G major) the old campground
Stand (F major) and de (A minor) liver
their (C major) burning big (G major) seed (C major)
This war was a mighty fine war,
was a (F major) war like the world never seen before.
(C major) Only (G major) one not (A minor) keeping score
was a (D major) man named Caleb Brown. (G major)
No (C major) one knows what his eyes have seen,
how he (F major) washed his hands
in a bloody stream.
(C major) Buried all (G major) his hopes (A minor) and dreams
Down (F major) in the (G major) cold, cold (C major) ground
(F major) Gather by the (C major) river
Light (A minor) a fire in the (G major) old campground
Stand (F major) and deliv (A minor) er
Their (G major) burning Dixie (C major) down
Stand (F major) and de (A minor) liver
Their (G major) burning Dixie (C major) down
(F major) You
(C major)
