Joan Baez - The night they drove old dixie down

^Am Virgil ^CCaine is my name and I ^Fdrove on the Danville ^Amtrain ^C 'Til so much ^Amcavalry came and ^Ftore up the tracks a^Amgain ^F In the winter of '^C65, we were ^Amhungry, just ^Fbarely alive Am F C Am | D | D7 | I took the train to Richmond that fell, it was a time I remember oh so well

The ^Cnight they ^Amdrove old ^FDixie ^Cdown, and all the ^Ambells were ringin' The ^Cnight they ^Amdrove old ^FDixie ^Cdown, and all the ^Ampeople were singin', they went: C Am D F | C Cmaj7 | Am C | C Cmaj7 | Am C | "Naa na-na naa na-na, na-naa na-naa na-naa na-na-naa"

^AmBack with my wife in ^CTennessee, and ^Fone day she said to ^Amme ^C "Virgil, ^Amquick come see, ^Fthere goes the Robert E ^AmLee." Now, ^FI don't mind ^Cchoppin' wood, and I ^Amdon't care if the ^Fmoney's no good Am F C Am | D | D7 | Just take what you need and leave the rest, but they should never have taken the very best.

The ^Cnight they ^Amdrove old ^FDixie ^Cdown, and all the ^Ambells were ringin' The ^Cnight they ^Amdrove old ^FDixie ^Cdown, and all the ^Ampeople were singin', they went: C Am D F | C Cmaj7 | Am C | C Cmaj7 | Am C | "Naa na-na naa na-na, na-naa na-naa na-naa na-na-naa"

^Am Like my father be^Cfore me,^F I'm a workin' ^Amman ^C And like my brother be^Amfore me,^F I took a rebel ^Amstand Well, he was ^Fjust eighteen, ^Cproud and brave, but a ^AmYankee laid him ^Fin his grave Am F C Am | D | D7 | I swear by the blood below my feet, you can't raise a Caine back up when he's in defeat.

The ^Cnight they ^Amdrove old ^FDixie ^Cdown, and all the ^Ambells were ringin' The ^Cnight they ^Amdrove old ^FDixie ^Cdown, and all the ^Ampeople were singin', they went: C Am D F | F | Am "Naa na-na naa na-na, na-naa na-naa na-naa na-na-naa"
