Chords for The Band - The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down ( Lyrics )

_ _ _ [G] _ _ [Am] _ Virgil [C] Kane is the name and I [F] served on the [E]
[Dm] Danville train
_ _ [Am] Till _ [C] Stoneman's Cavalry came [F] and tore up the [Dm] tracks again
_ _ [E] _ In the winter [F] of 65 [C] we were hungry [Dm] just barely alive
[Am] I made the [F] 10th enrichment at Fallon's [C] time
_ I [Dm]
remember oh so [D] well
_ _ [C] The _ night [F] they drove old [C] Dixie down
The [F] bells were ringing
[C] The night [F] they drove old [C] Dixie down
_ [F] The people were singing [C] they went
La _ [Am] _ la _ [G] _
la la [F] la la la la la
[C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [A]
Back with my [C] wife in Tennessee
[F] When one day she [Dm] called me
_ _ [Am] _
_ _ [C] Virgil quick come see
[F]
Back old poverty [Dm] leave
_ [E] I [Am] don't mind [F] chopping wood
[C] And I don't care [Dm] if the money's no good
[Am] You pay for what you need and [F] you leave the rest
But [C] they should never have [Dm] taken the barrel [D] _
bed
The [C] _ _ night [F] they drove old [C] Dixie down
And [F] the bells were ringing
[C] The night [F] they drove old [C] Dixie down
And [F] all the people were singing [C] they went
La la [Am] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[F] la la la la la la la
[C] _ _ _ _
[F] _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ [Am] Like my father [C] before me
[F] I will work the [Dm] land _
And [Am] _ like my brother [C] _ _
me
[F] Who took a travel [Dm] span
He was [Am] just 18 _ [F] proud and brave
[C] But a Yankee _ [Dm] made him in his grave
[Am] I swear by the blood [F] that loathed my feet
You [C] can't raise a cane [Dm] back up when it's in [D] defeat
_ _ _ The night they [F] drove old Dixie [C] down
And [F] the bells were ringing
[C] The night they drove old Dixie [C]
down
And [F] all the people were singing [C] they went
La [Am] la la la la la [G] la la la la
La la la la [F] la la la la la
[C] The _ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [Bb] _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _
_ night [F] they drove old [C] Dixie down
And [F] all the bells were ringing
[C] The night [F] they drove old [C] Dixie down
[F] And all the people were [C] singing they went
_ _ [Am] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _ _
