Intro 1
(D major) (B minor)
Verse 1
Virgil (B minor) (D major) Kane is my name
and I served (G major) on the Danville train (B minor)
(D major) Till Stone Mine's cav (B minor) alry
(D major) came and (G major) tore up the tracks again (B minor)
(G major) In the winter of six (D major) ty -five
we were hungry, (B minor) (D major) just barely (G major) alive
I (D major) took the train to Rich (G major) mond,
that bell, it was a (D major) time
I remember oh so well (E major)
The (B minor) night (D major) they drove (B minor) old (G major) Dixie down, (D major)
and all the (B minor) bells were ringing
The (G major) night (D major) they drove (B minor) old (G major) Dixie down, (D major)
and all the (B minor) people were singing
And they went (D major) la, la, la, (B minor) la, la, la,
la, (E major) la, la, la, la, (G major) la, la, la, la (D major)
Back with (B minor) my wife in (D major) Tennessee
And (G major) one day she said to me (B minor) (D major)
Virgil, (B minor) quick come see
There (G major) goes Robert E. Lee
(B minor) Now (G major) I don't mind a (D major) chop of wood
And I (B minor) don't care if the (G major) money's no good
Just (B minor) take what you need and leave (G major) the rest
But they should (D major) never have
taken (B minor) the very be (E major) st
(B minor) The (D major) night they drove (B minor) old (G major) Dixie down (D major)
And all the (B minor) bells were ringing
And (G major) the night (D major) they drove (B minor) old (G major) Dixie down (D major)
And all the (B minor) people were singing, they (D major) went
La la la (B minor) la la la
La (E major) la la la la la (G major) la la (D major)
Like (B minor) my father before (D major) me
I (G major) will work the land (B minor)
(D major) And like my brother before (B minor) me,
I (G major) took a rebel's stance (B minor)
For he was (G major) just eighteen,
proud (D major) and brave
When a (B minor) Yankee laid him (G major) in his grave
I (B minor) swear by the blood below (G major) my feet
You (D major) can't raise a cane back up (B minor)
when he's in defeat (E major) (B minor)
The (D major) night they drove (B minor) old (G major) Dixie down (D major)
And all the (B minor) bells were ringing
the (G major) night (D major) they drove (B minor) old (G major) Dixie down (D major)
And all the (B minor) people were singing,
they went (D major) la la la (B minor) la la la,
la (E major) la la la la (G major) la la (D major)
The night they drove old (G major) Dixie down, (D major)
and all the (D major) bells were ringing
the night, they drove old Dixie (G major) down, (D major)
and all the people were singing
the night, they drove old Dixie down, (D major)
and all the bells were ringing out (D major) ,
they told the whole Dixie town.
