The night they drove old Dixie down, and the bells were ringing,
  G     C        G       Em
The night they drove old Dixie down, and the people were singin'. They went
G        Em Am     C
La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La

Em          G        C          Em
Back with my wife in Tennessee, when one day she said to me
G    Em        C          Em

C          Em          G         Em
Now I don't mind' em choppin' wood, and I don't care if the money's no good.
  C             Em
Ya take what ya need, and ya leave the rest,
        G     Em       A
but they should never have taken the very best.

Like my father before me, I'm a workin' man
G        Em   C        Em
Like my brother above me, I took a rebel stand.
    C       Em           G        Em
He was just eighteen, proud and brave, but a Yankee laid him in his grave
 C         Em
I swear by the mud below my feet,
     G         Em        D

G        Em Am     C
La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La
