Johnny Reb

C
You fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb
                                C
You fought all the way Johnny Reb

[Verse 1]
                        F        C
Saw you a marchin' with Robert E. Lee
                                            G7
You held your head a-high tryin' to win the victory
    F                         C
You fought for your folks but you didn't die in vain
                                F              C
Even though you lost they speak highly of your name

[Chorus]
 C
'Cause you fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb
                                C
You fought all the way Johnny Reb

[Verse 2]
                                F        C
I heard your teeth chatter from the cold outside
                                           G7
Saw the bullets open up the wounds in your side
  F                     C
I saw the young boys as they begin to fall
                                      F                C
You had tears in your eyes 'cause you couldn't help at all

[Chorus]
C
But you fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb
                                C
You fought all the way Johnny Reb

[Verse 3]
                            F            C
I saw General Lee raise the saber in his hand
                                              G7
Heard the cannon's roar as you made your last stand
    F                              C
You marched in the battle with the gray and the red
                                     F                 C
When the cannon's smoke cleared took days to count the dead

[Chorus]
C
'Cause you fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb
                                C
You fought all the way Johnny Reb

[Verse 4]
                            F               C
When "Honest Abe" heard the news about your fall
                                            G7
The folks thought he'd call a great victory ball
   F                     C
But he asked the band to play the song Dixie
                       F              C
For you Johnny Reb and all that you believed

[Chorus]
C
'Cause you fought all the way Johnny Reb  Johnny Reb
                                     C
Yeah you fought all the way Johnny Reb
