Born up on the Blue Ridge, out the Carolina line,
_ Baptized on the banks [C] of the New River, _
[G] Brought up on bluegrass, in clear [C] moonshine, _
[G] Dead tough as iron, but a heart [C] soft as leather, [G] _ _
[G] Levi.
[C] _ _ [Am] _ [D] Lord, Lord, Lord, [G] they shot him down, [Am] _ _ _ [E] Ten thousand miles from [G] our southern town,
[A] _ _ Oh, _ _
[G] Levi.
[A] _ _ _ _ [E] _
[G] Like a fire [D] on the mountain, [C] running wild in [Am] those days,
[G] Playing nights of [D] the Golden Horseshoe, [C] and Indian Rays,
[G] Hats, [D] parachutes, and combat [G] boots, and camouflage [C] airplanes,
[G] And a country boy who don't [A] belong in the desert anyway, _ Levi.
_ _ [Em] Lord, [D] Lord, Lord, they [G] shot him down, [C] _ _ Ten [D] thousand miles from our [G] southern town,
_ _ [Am] _ _ [D] _
[G] Oh, Levi.

[Bm] Well, the sandbox sure gets lonesome, [Em] and it's a hundred and nine degrees,
[Bm] Singing, carry me back to Virginia, Lord, [C] I'm down here [D] on my knees,
_ [G] In the Market Square, [D] while the bells were ringing loud, that [Am] fills the air,
Levi [D] gazed his eyes out [C] through the rocket glare,
_ [G] Beyond the desert [D] and the ocean, [G] to the furthest field [C] to hold,
[G] And when the bullets [D] pierced his body, he was already [Am] gone, _ [G] Levi.
_ _ [Am] Lord, [D] Lord, Lord, they shot him down, _ [C] _ _ [Am] Ten [E] thousand miles from our southern [G] town,
_ [A] _ _ _ _
Oh, Levi.
_ _ [Em] Lord, [E] Lord, Lord, they shot him [G] _ [C] down, _ [Am] Oh, [D] _ [G] Levi.
_ [C] _ _ [Em] Oh, [B] _ Levi. _ _ _ _ _
