God Bless Robert E. Lee easy guitar chords by
Johnny Cash
Johnny Cash

N/A
Verse 1
G

When Robert E Lee surrendered the Confederacy

Jefferson Davis was upset about it

He said how dare that man

resent an order
D
G

Form the president of the Confederate

States of America

Then somebody told him that General Lee

had made the decision himself

In order to save lives because he felt

that the battle comin' up

Would cost about twenty thousand

lives on both sides

And he said two hundred and forty

thousand dead already is enough

So this song is not about the North or the South

but about the bloody brother war

Brother against brother father against

son the war that nobody won

And for all those lives that were saved I

gotta say Dod bless Robert E Lee

Well the mansion where the General
C
G

used to live is burning down

Cotton fields are blue
D

with Sherman's troupes
G

I overheard a Yankee say
C
G

yesterday Nashville fell

So I'm on my way to join the fight
D
G

General Lee might need my help
C

But look away look away Dixie I

don't want them to see
G
D

What they're doing to my Dixie God
G

bless Robert E Lee

Sherman's troupes burned Atlanta
C
G

and the flames lit up the sky

And those of us who survived it
D

are watchin' my Dixie die
G
C

But today at Appamattox General
G

Lee sat down

And surrender to the Yankees
D
G

and Ulysees S Grant
C
G
D
G

So look away look away Dixie...

I won't ever stop loving you my Dixie
C
G

till they put me in the ground

And the last words they probably hear
D
G

from me are God bless Robert E Lee

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
