The General Lee Ukulele by Johnny Cash

Chords with lyrics

Intro:
| C | % |


Verse 1:
   C
I'm a charger
   Am
That charges through the night
    F
Like an orange bolt of lightning
    F
Passing everything in sight
    G              Am
I'm the best pal the Duke boys' ever had
  F               Dm    G
I'm thunder on the highway looking bad, bad, bad
Verse 2:
   C
I'm a knight
     Am
Like the kind in shining armor
    F
With my polished body gleaming
   F
I'm a fighter and a charmer
  G                  Am
If trouble comes your way just ask for me
  F             G    C
My friends all know me as the General Lee
               (= Link to Chorus)

Chorus:
     F
I'm the General Lee
 F              Em
A piston pumpin' steel belted cavalry
   Em               Dm
I'll never let you down when you're riding with me
F          G      | C C7 | C6 C |
Buckle up and I'll show you what I mean
    F
Take a look back there
F                 Em
Sirens blowing red lights flashing everywhere
   Em                  Dm
We'll cross the field and we'll be runnin' free
F           G       | Am | F G |
They'll eat dust with compliments of me     (break)
      | Am | % | C | C  C |
The General Lee       (break)
Verse 3:
   C
I'm a hero
      Am
And that's how I'll make you feel
      F
When you're riding shotgun with me
    F
And the law is at your heels
  G                 Am
I'm glory bound and when the chase is done
   F                    G
I'll take off through the mountains and have fun, fun, fun


Verse 4:
     C
I've got style
Am
Tearing through the curves
    F             F
With my flag waving proudly to the people that I serve
  G            Am
I'm number 1 and I'll always be
  F                G    C
The pride of the South they call the General Lee
                 (= Link to Chorus)

Chorus:
    F
I'm the General Lee
 F              Em
A piston pumpin' steel belted cavalry
   Em               Dm
I'll never let you down when you're riding with me
F          G      | C C7 | C6 C |
Buckle up and I'll show you what I mean
    F
Take a look back there
F                 Em
Sirens blowing red lights flashing everywhere
   Em                 Dm
I'll jump that pond and we'll be running free
  F          G      | Am | F G |
And they'll go swimming compliments of me    (break)
      | Am | F G |
The General Lee    (break)


Outro: (repeat and fade)
      | Am | F G |
The General Lee    (break)
      | Am | F G |
The General Lee    (break)
