Chords for Steve Earle at Montreaux Dixieland.wmv

But when _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ you _ ask _ people
_ _ [C#]
Why they go to war they'll all give you different reasons because the people that start wars
are for the most part old guys with a lot of money and _
_ You know some of them live in places [C] like this and
_ _ _ and
The thing is they're not fucking going and more importantly their kids aren't [G] going
[D] _
_ _ _ _ But so the trick is they have to convince
Regular people that they have a reason to go out and fight whatever war
They have going on at that particular point in time
The American Civil War was no was no exception there were if you [N] asked anybody why they were fighting that war
_ You get different reasons for everybody some people would tell you that they were fighting to free the slaves and
Some people were typically they were fighting for states rights
They were all
_ Fighting about money because it had to do with the the effect slavery had on economics in my country at the time
This guy that's talking to you in this song
_ like a lot of people that fought that war _ is from Ireland and he came to the United States and
Looking for a new life and what he found was a new war to fight and he had one marketable skill _ _ _ _
_ _ If
He asked him and a lot of other people that came from I learned what the why they were fighting the Civil War
Especially on the Union side
They believed they were fighting class war
Because they [F] believed that the system that they saw in the southern United States was the same system a feudal system
like the system that they fought against and [D] left Ireland to get away from and
It amazes me.
You know I like my job a lot that you know the pinko shit that I can sneak in on a [F#] bluegrass record

_ _ _ I'm
Karina and I'm a fighting man and I come from [G] County Claire and the bread said hey man for [D] opinion
So it took me leave [Bm] there [A] and across the ocean in the Aryan
Fathers [G] trouble float and the captain's brother is a [D] real man and met a set the [A] boat
So I dreamed up with a [G] 20th main like I said my friend.
[E] I'm a fighting man
Marching [A] south in the pouring rain and we're all [D] going down to Dixie [E] land _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ I'm
Karina the 20th main and a fight for [G] a chamber line
Cuz I stood right with us [A] when the Johnny's came like a banshee on the wind
When the smoke cleared out over Gettysburg many a mother [G] wept
Many a good boy [D] died this year and here's just like [B] death
I [A] am Karina the 20th [G] main and I marched to hell and [A] back again
Colonel Joshua Chamberlain and we're all going down to Dixie [E] land _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [D] _ _ I'm Karina the 20th main and I damn all [G] gentlemen
Who's only worth [D] is a father's name in the sweat of a working man?
Will become from the farms in the city streets hundred [G] foreign lands
Shed our blood in the [A] battles he'd know we're all [B] Americans
_ _ _ [A] I'm
Karina the [D] 20th main did I tell your friend?
[A] I'm a fighting man not be back this weekend
Cuz we're all going down to Dixie land _ _ _ _ _
