[Bm] [D]
[F#m]
The Yankee letter said the day [A] be comin' any day
[Bm] And if we plan on gettin' out [D] alive, we'd best be on our way
[F#m] Our tattered gray was torn between [A] if we should run or fight
[Bm] But us southern pride swelled up in [D] sights we dug in [C#] for the night
[A] Then I heard a rider [E] callin', they're comin' down the road
[C#m] And the fiery flash of 20 [D] pounders started to explode
[A] We tried our best to stop them, but their efforts [F#m] were in vain
[D] In the distance you could hear the sound of [A] Dixie's last refrain
They're burnin' [F#m] Georgia [D] down, those devils [A] dressed in blue
[D] They took [C#m] the high-heeled ground, [D] dyin's all [A] we can do
Atlanta's bound [D] to fall, smell the [F#m] smoke and the cinder
They're [B] burnin' Georgia [D] down, we [A] never will surrender

Sherman left Atlanta leading [A] 60,000 of his best
[Bm] Spreading their [D] destruction over 50 miles abreast
[F#m] Marchin' to the sea, [A] leavin' nothin' in their path
[Bm] Factory farms and churches, [D] nothin' spared [C#] their wrath
[A] But Christmas Day in 64, [E] they cut off all [C#m] supplies
And then they offered Mr.
Lincoln [D] up to the Fannie Hattie Prize
[A] And though our lines were broken, we'll fight on [F#m] till the end
[D] And pray someday we'll find our way to Dixie [A] once again
[F#m] They're burnin' Georgia [D] down, those devils [A] dressed in blue
They [F#m] took the high-heeled [D] ground, dyin's all [A] we can do
Atlanta's bound to [D] fall, smell the smoke [F#m] and the cinder
They're burnin' [Bm] Georgia down, [D] we never [A] will surrender
They're burnin' [Bm] Georgia down, [D] we never [F#m] will surrender
