The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down
The Band
Key : C
Capo
[Verse 1]
---------------------
C Am            C                        F       Am          Dm
    Virgil Caine   is the name and I served on the Danville train
Am                C              F           Am        Dm
  'Til Stoneman's cavalry came and tore up the tracks again
Am                 F                   C            Dm
    In the winter of sixty five, we were hungry, just barely alive
Am                  F
    By May the tenth, Richmond had fell
           C    Dm                D
It's a time I remember, oh so well

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
    C             Fmaj7              C
The night they drove     old Dixie down
             Fmaj7
And the bells     were ringing
    C             Fmaj7              C
The night they drove     old Dixie down
           Fmaj7
And the people were singing
          C
They went,   "La, la, la"
Am
"La, la, la"
Gsus4                  F           C
"La, la, la, la, la, la la, la, la"

[Verse 2]
---------------------
Am                      C
Back with my wife in Tennessee
     F           Am        Dm
When one day she called to me
Am               C          F          Am          Dm
  "Virgil, quick,   come see, there goes Robert E. Lee"
    Am               F
Now I   don't mind choppin' wood
      C                 Dm
And I don't care if the money's no good
   Am                     F
Ya take what ya need and ya leave the rest
                C          Dm                 D
But they should never have taken the very best

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
    C             Fmaj7              C
The night they drove     old Dixie down
             Fmaj7
And the bells     were ringing
    C             Fmaj7              C
The night they drove     old Dixie down
            Fmaj7
And all the people were singing
          C
They went,   "La, la, la"
Am
"La, la, la"
Gsus4                  F
"La, la, la, la, la, la la, la, la"
C | F | C 

[Verse 3]
---------------------
Am                     C    F          Am
  Like my father before   me, I will work    the land
Dm Am                     C     F           Am       Dm
     And like my brother above me, who took a rebel stand
       Am                F
He was just eighteen, proud and brave
      C               Dm
But a Yankee laid him in his grave
  Am                  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

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
    C             Fmaj7              C
The night they drove     old Dixie down
             Fmaj7
And the bells     were ringing
    C             Fmaj7              C
The night they drove     old Dixie down
            Fmaj7
And all the people were singing
     C
They went, "La, la, la"
Am
"La, la, la"
Gsus4                  F           C
"La, la, la, la, la, la la, la, la"

[Bridge]
---------------------
Bm | Bb | F | Abdim7 

[Chorus (4)]
---------------------
C D         C          Fmaj7              C
        The night   they drove     old Dixie down
            Fmaj7
And all the bells were ringing
    C             Fmaj7              C
The night they drove     old Dixie down
           Fmaj7
And the people were singing
     C
They went, "La, la, la"
Am
"La, la, la"
Gsus4                  F           C
"La, la, la, la, la, la la, la, la"
