Born up on the Blue Ridge at the Carolina line
G.                       D.                         C
Baptized on the banks of the New River

Brought up on the bluegrass, and clear moon shine
G.                          D.                          C
Tough as iron, but a heart as soft as leather

Levi,     lord, lord, lord the shot him down

Like fire on a mountain, running wild in those days
G.                                           D.                      C
Playing knights of the golden horse shoe and Indian raids
G.                                    D.                           C.                  Am
Now it's parachutes and combat boots and camouflaged airplanes
G.                                    D.                                    C
And a country boy who don't belong in the desert anyway

G.  C.    Am.         D.                         G
Levi,     lord, lord, lord the shot him down

     10,000 miles from a southern town

       Oh Levi


Bm
Well the sand box sure gets lonesome
Em
Ands 109 degrees
Bm
Singing carry me back to Virginia
C
Lord I'm down here on my knees

G.                           D.                                          C.              Am
In a market square where the bells were ringing loud to fill the air
G.                    D.                      C
Levi gazed his eyes out to the rocket glare
G.                                       D.                    C.                     Am
Beyond the desert and the ocean, to the farthest fields of home
G.                               D.                                    C
And when the bullets pierced his body he was already gone

G.  C.    Am.         D.                         G
Levi,     lord, lord, lord the shot him down
C-Am.      D.                                 G
     10,000 miles from a southern town
C-Am.  D. G
       Oh Levi
