General Lee chords by Johnny Cash

Chords with lyrics

C majorC

C majorC
I'm a charger
   A minorAm
That charges through the night
    FF
Like an orange bolt of lightning

Passing everything in sight
    G+G              A minorAm
I'm the best pal the Duke boys' ever had
  FF               G+G
I'm thunder on the highway looking bad, bad, bad

C majorC
I'm a knight
     A minorAm
Like the kind in shining armor
    FF
With my polished body gleaming

I'm a fighter and a charmer
  G+G                  A minorAm
If trouble comes your way just ask for me
  FF             G+G    C majorC
My friends all know me as the General Lee

FF
I'm the General Lee
               E minorEm
A augmentedA piston pumpin' steel belted cavalry
                  G+G
I'll never let you down when you're riding with me
FF          G+G      A minorAm
Buckle up and I'll show you what I mean

C///Bb///F///G

FF
Take a look back there
                  E minorEm
Sirens blowing red lights flashing everywhere
                      G+G
We'll cross the field and we'll be runnin' free
FF           G+G       A minorAm
They'll eat dust with compliments of me

FF  G+G

A minorAm
The General Lee

C
I'm a hero
      A minorAm
And that's how I'll make you feel
      FF
When you're riding shotgun with me

And the law is at your heels
  G+G                 A minorAm
I'm glory bound and when the chase is done
   FF                    G+G
I'll take off through the mountains and have fun, fun, fun

C majorC
I've got style
A minorAm
Tearing through the curves
    FF
With my flag waving proudly to the people that I serve
  G+G            A minorAm
I'm number 1 and I'll always be
  FF                G+G    C majorC
The pride of the South they call the General Lee

I'll jump that pond and we'll be running free

And they'll go swimming compliments of me
