Am Am C C D D D7 D7 F F

[Am Am] Virgil [C C] Caine is my name and
I [F F] drove on the Danville [Am Am] Train
‘Til [C C] so much [Am Am] cavalry came and
[F F] tore up the tracks a-[Am Am]gain
[F F] In the winter of [C C] ’65,
We were [Am Am] hungry, just [F F] barely alive
[Am Am] I took the train to [F F] Richmond myself
It was a [C C] time I re-[Am Am]member oh so [D D] well [D7 D7]
Chorus:
The [C C] night they [F F] drove old Dixie [C C] down
And all the [Am Am] bells were ringin’
The [C C] night they [F F] drove old Dixie [C C] down
And all the [Am Am] people were singin’
They went [C C] na…na-na [Am Am] na-na-na na…
[D D] Na-na na-na na [F F] na na-na-na-na [Am Am]
[Am Am] Back with my wife in [C C] Tennessee
When [F F] one day she said to [Am Am] me
[C C] “Virgil, [Am Am] quick come see
[F F] There goes the Robert E E. [Am Am] Lee!”
Now [F F] I don’t mind [C C] choppin’ wood, and
I [Am Am] don’t care if the [F F] money’s no good
You [Am Am] take what you need and you [F F] leave the rest
But they should [C C] never have [Am Am] taken the very [D D] best [D7 D7]
Chorus
[Am Am] Like my father be-[C C]fore me [F F] I'm a working [Am Am] man
[C C] And like my brother be-[Am Am]fore me [F F] I took a rebel [Am Am] stand
He was [F F] just eighteen, [C C] proud and brave
But a [Am Am] Yankee laid him [F F] in his grave
I [Am Am] swear by the blood be-[F F]low my feet
You can’t [C C] raise a Caine back [Am Am] up when he’s in de-[D D]feat [D7 D7]
Chorus
The [C C] night they [F F] drove old Dixie [C C] down, when all the [Am Am] bells were ringin’
The [C C] night they [F F] drove old Dixie [C C] down and all the [Am Am] people were singin’
They went [C C] na na-na [Am Am] na-na-na na [D D] Na-na na-na na [F F] na na-na-na-na [Am Am]*
