Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]Virgil Cain [G]is the name
I [F]served on the [C]Danville [Dm]train[G]
[Am]Till Stonewall's caval[G]ry came
And [F]tore up the [C]tracks [Dm]again
[Am]In the winter of 6[F]5
We were [C]hungry, just [Dm]barely alive
[Am]By May the 10th, R[F]ichmond had fell
It's a [C]time I remem[Dm]ber
Oh, so [D]well
The [C]night [G]they [F]drove old Dixie [G]down
And [C]the [F]bells were ringing
The [G]night they [F]drove old Dixie [G]down[C]
[G]An [Am]d the peo[F]ple were singing,
they went
[C]Na [G]-na [Am]-na -na -na -na -na
[Em]Na -na -na -na -na -[F]na -na -na
[Am]Back with my wife in [G]Tennessee,
[C]one [F]day she cal[Em]led to [C]me[Dm][G][Am]
Virgil, quick [G]come see,
[C]there [F]goes the Robert [C]E. Lee
[Dm]I do[G]n't [Dm]mind[Am]
them chopping [F]wood,
and I don't [C]care if the [Dm]money's no good
You [Am]take what you need,
and you [F]leave the rest
But they should [C]never have
[Dm]taken the very be[D]st
The [G]night [C]they dro[F]ve old Dixie dow[G]n
[C]An [G]d t[Am]he bells[F] were ringing
The [C]night they [F]drove old Dixie [G]down
[C]And[G] all the peo[F]ple were singing
[C]Na, [G]na, na, na,[Am] na, na, na
[Em]Na, na, na, na, [F]na, na, na
Like [Am]my father before me[G]
[F]I'm a -workin' [Dm]there
[Am]Like my brother above [G]me
[Am]I to[F]ok a rebel[C]'s sta[Dm]nd
[Am]Just 18, [F]proud and brave
But a [C]Yankee laid him [Dm]in his grave
I [C]swear by the [Am]mud b[C]elow m[F]y feet
I can't [C]raise a cane back [Dm]up
when he's in [D]defeat
[Dm]The [C]night they d[F]rove old Dixie down
[C]All the bel[F]ls were ringing
[G][C][F][G][C][F][C][F][G]
[C]And all the peo[F]ple wer[G]e[C]
