The Band - The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down слова песни
C Am C/G F F/E Dm Virgil Caine is the name, and I served on the Danville train,Am C/G F F/E Dm `Til Stoneman`s cavalry came and tore up the tracks again.Am/E F C Dm In the winter of `65, We were hungry, just barely alive.Am/E F C Dm D By May the tenth, Richmond had fell, it`s a time I remember, oh so well,(Chorus) C/G Fmaj7 C/G Fmaj7The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, and the bells were ringing, C/G Fmaj7 C/G Fmaj7The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, and the people were singin`. They went C/G Am Gsus4 F CLa, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, La, Am C F F/E Dm Back with my wife in Tennessee, When one day she called to me, Am C F F/E Dm "Virgil, quick, come see, there goes Robert E. Lee!" Am/E F C Dm Now I don`t mind choppin` wood, and I don`t care if the money`s no good. Am/E F Ya take what ya need and ya leave the rest, C Dm D But they should never have taken the very best. (Chorus) Am C F F/E Dm Like my father before me, I will work the land, Am C F F/E Dm Like my brother above me, who took a rebel stand. Am/E F C Dm He was just eighteen, proud and brave, But a Yankee laid him in his grave, Am/E F I swear by the mud below my feet, C Dm D You can`t raise a Caine back up when he`s in defeat.
