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


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


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


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


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


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