The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down Tab uke di The Band

Am      C
Virgil Caine is the name
       F                       Am
And I served on the Danville train
  C               Am
'Till Stoneman's cavalry came
     F                   Am
And tore up the tracks again
F                 C
In the winter of sixty five
         Am           F
We were hungry, just barely alive
    Am             F
By May the tenth, Richmond had fell
        C        D             G    G7
It's a time I remember, oh so well


     C            F             C
The night they drove old Dixie down
         Am
And the bells were ringing
     C           F              C
The night they drove old Dixie down
         Am
And the people were singing
            C                   Am      D
They went, "Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na,
            F
Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na.


Am                     C
Back with my wife in Tennessee
     F                     Am
When one day she called to me
  C              Am
"Virgil, quick, come see,
       F              Am
There goes Robert E. Lee!"
F                   C
Now, I don't mind chopping wood
             Am           F
And I don't care if the money's no good
     Am                          F
You take what you need and you leave the rest
          C                 D              G    G7
But they should never have taken the very best


     C            F             C
The night they drove old Dixie down
         Am
And the bells were ringing
     C           F              C
The night they drove old Dixie down
         Am
And the people were singing
            C                   Am      D
They went, "Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na,
            F
Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na.


Am                C
Like my father before me
        F        Am
I will work the land
     C                Am
And like my brother above me
     F             Am
Who took a rebel stand
        F               C
He was just eighteen, proud and brave
       Am              F
But a Yankee laid him in his grave
    Am                F
I swear by the mud below my feet
            C                D
You can't raise a Caine back up
                G   G7
When he's in defeat


     C            F             C
The night they drove old Dixie down
         Am
And the bells were ringing
     C           F              C
The night they drove old Dixie down
         Am
And the people were singing
            C                   Am      D
They went, "Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na,
            F
Na, Na, Na, Na, Na, Na.
