Verse 1
(C major) (A minor) (F major) Here's a song
that we had recorded
(G major) on Capitol Records.
It's about the (C major) American Civil War.
(A minor) It was recorded by a group
called (F major) The Band first,
and we (G major) liked it real well,
so we recorded it ourselves. (C major)
(A minor) And the name (F major) of it is entitled,
The Night They Drove Old (G major) Dixie Down,
and it goes like this,
and we (C major) hope you like it. (A minor) (F major) (C major) (A minor)
Virgil Cain (C major) is the name
and I served (F major) on the Danville train (D minor)
Held (A minor) Stallman's (C major) cavalry cane
and (F major) tore up the tracks again (D minor)
In (A minor) the winter of 65 (F major) we were hungry (G major)
and (C major) just (D minor) barely alive
By (A minor) May 10th, Richmond (F major) had fell
It was a time (G major) (C major) I (G major) (C major) re
(F major) member oh so well (D minor)
The night (E minor) (C major) they (F major) drove old Dixie down (E minor)
And (C major) all the (F major) bells were ringing
The night (G major) they (C major) (F major) drove old Dixie down (E minor)
And all the (F major) people were singing
And they went (A minor) la la la la (G major) la la,
la la la la (F major) la la la la la (C major) (F major) (C major) (G major)
(D minor) Like (E minor) (A minor) my father before (C major) me,
I'm (F major) a working man (D minor)
An (A minor) d like my brother that (C major) loved me,
he (F major) took a rebel stand (D minor)
He was (A minor) just 18, proud (F major) and brave
But the (G major) Yankees drained (C major) him (D minor) in his grave
I (A minor) swear by the blood below (F major) my feet
They can't make (G major) (C major) a cane rise (F major) up
when he's in de (D minor) feat
The night (C major) they drove (F major) old Dixie down (E minor)
All the (F major) bells were ringing
In the night (G major) (C major) they (F major) drove old Dixie down (E minor)
All (C major) the (F major) people were singing, they went
(A minor) La la la la (C major) la la
La (G major) la la la la la (F major) la la la
