This is an old American Civil War song written obviously by a confederate soldier. It
me awhile to figure out the exact chords because the one other tab i found was completely
But this here is completely right.
And because this is an old folk song go ahead and feel free to change the lyrics however
feel when you play it. Folk music will never die. Enjoy!
Oh, CI'm a good old rebel
Now Gthat's just what IC am
And Cfor this Yankee nation
I Gdo no giveG a damn.
I'm Fglad I fought again 'er
I Conly wish we'd won
I Cain't asked any pardon
For Ganything I've Cdone.
I Chates the Yankee nation
And Geverything theyC do
I Chates the declaration
Of GindependenceG too.
I Fhates the glorious union
'Tis Cdripping with our blood
I Chates the striped banner
And Gfit (fought) it all I Ccould.
I Crode with Robert E. Lee
For Gthree years there Cabout
Got Cwounded in four places
And I Gstarved at PointG Lookout.
I Fcoutch (caught) the roomatism (rheumatism)
A Ccampin' in the snow
But CI killed a chance of Yankees
And GI'd like to kill some Cmore.
Three Chundred thousand Yankees
Is Gstiff in southernC dust
We Cgot three hundred thousand
BeGfore they conquered Gus.
They Fdied of southern fever
And Csouthern steel and shot
I Cwish they was three million
InGstead of what we Cgot.
I Ccan't take up my musket
And Gfight 'em now no Cmore
But CI ain't goin' to love 'em
Now Gthat is certain Gsure
And FI don't want no pardon
For Cwhat I was and am
I Cwon't be reconstructed
And I Gdo not give a Cdamn.
Oh, CI'm a good old rebel
Now Gthat's just what IC am
And Cfor this Yankee nation
I Gdo no giveG a damn.
I'm Fglad I fought again 'er
I Conly wish we'd won
I Cain't asked any pardon
For Ganything I've Cdone.
I Cain't asked any pardon
For Ganything I've Cdone...
