[Intro]
Well I wish I was in the land of cotton
Old times they are not forgotten
Look away, look away, look away
Dixieland
[Verse 1]
GmOh musket and cannon have tForn his gray coat
CmDon't he look fine and handsome
Don't he lGmook at his most
Gm45 in the foxhole and of thFis I will boast
CmDon't they look fine and handsome
My poor JoGmhnny Boy's Bones
[Chorus]
Well wGmho will bring back my JohFnny Boy's Bones
To Cmlay beneath the trees of his TGmennessee home
A bGmox, a box made of stuFrdy white oak
With his arCmms folded up and his bGmlue eyes all closed
[Verse 2]
Well he dGmied for his country
And he diFed for his kin
And he diCmed killing men
A most hoGmnorable sin
But them mGmean boys in blue
They done Fturned him in
When they Cmlaid him low
With a lauGmgh and a grin
[Chorus] x2
Well wGmho will bring back my JohFnny Boy's Bones
To Cmlay beneath the trees of his TGmennessee home
A bGmox, a box made of stuFrdy white oak
With his arCmms folded up and his bGmlue eyes all closed
