Well...
C                  F
I come from the valley, I'm a rebel boy,
C            G
Born on the banks of the Shenandoah.
C          F
In '61 I went to the war
C     G   C
To win one for Virginia!


   C                   F
Yeah, my brother went first then they called me, too.
C              G
I was green as clover in the morning dew,
C                     F
So I marched to the drum and I sang to the tune:
C    G     C
Carry me back to Virginia!
G          C
Fire in the cannon, water in the well,
F                 G
Raced through the valley with a rebel yell.
G               C          F       G
I learned right quick how to march like hell and affix that bayonet.


C         F
Won't ya' carry me back?
C         F
Won't ya' carry me back?
C    G    C
Carry me back to Virginia!


    C                 F
With a sword and a saddle, powder in the gun,
C              G
We thought for a minute our fight was done.
C                 F
So they lined us up to the metals arm,
C        G    C
And hammered us into the quicksand.
C                     F
Then they burned that valley in a blaze of fire,
C                G
Cut through the lands like a red hot iron.
C                    F
'Til the men took cover where the horses piled,
C        G       C
Then we shivered and then hold against them.


G             C
But the war raged on like flames of hell,
F                 G
We dug through the pockets of the ones who fell,
G                C
Dressed in rags and we ate that grass
F             G
When they cut off our legs we cried!


C        F
Wont ya carry me back?
C        F
Wont ya carry me back?
C    G    C
Carry me back to Virginia!
C        F
Wont ya carry me back?
C        F
Wont ya carry me back?
C    G    C
Carry me back to Virginia.


C                    F
And they died in the valley, died in the swamp,
C                  G
On the banks of the river where the whitetail jumped.
C                F
Died in the ditches, died in the fields,
C               G
In the belly of a wagon for a womans to heal,
C                F
Died in the war, starved in the camps.
C             G
Locked in the prisons of a meaner man.
C                 F
Spilled our blood in the fight to defend
C        G     C
And to bury the tome of a-dixieland!


G        C
Down in Alabama, down in Caroline,
F              G
Way down in Gerogie, on the Tennessee line.
G               C
We fought for the rebels, and Robert E. Lee,
F             G
Now we want to go home to Virginia.
F             G
Say we want to go home to Virginia!


C        F
Wont ya carry me back?
C        F
Wont ya carry me back?
C    G    C
Carry me back to Virginia.
C        F
Wont ya carry me back?
C        F
Wont ya carry me back?
C     G     C
