Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Well, I wish I was in the land of cotton
Old times they are not forgotten
Look away, look away,

[Interlude 1]
look away Dixieland
[Em][D][Em][D]
[Em][D]
[Em]

[Verse 2]
Although [Em]musket and cannon
[B]have [D]torn his gray coat
Don't he look [Bm]fine and [D]handsome?
Don't he [Em]look at his most
For he fought in the foxhole
and at [D]this I [Bm]will [D]boast
Don't [B]they look fine and handsome
My poor [Em]Johnny boy's bones?

[Verse 3]
Well, [G]who will bring back my
[D]Johnny boy's bones?
To [B]lay beneath the trees
of his [Em]Tennessee home
A [G]box, a box made of [D]sturdy white oak
With his [B]arms folded up and his
[Em]blue eyes all closed

[Interlude 2]
[Em][D][Em]

[Verse 4]
Well, he [Em]died for his country
And he [D]died for his [Bm]kin[D]
[Bm]And he died killing men[D]
[Em]A most honorable sin

[Verse 5]
But [Em]them mean boys in blue
They done [D]turned him in
When they [B]laid him low
With [Em]a laugh and a grin

[Verse 6]
Oh, [G]who will bring back my
[D]Johnny boy's bones?
[B]To lay beneath the trees of
[Em]our Tennessee home
A [G]box, a box made from
[D]sturdy white oak
With his [B]arms folded up and
his blue eyes [Em]all closed

[Verse 7]
Oh, [G]who will bring back my
[D]Johnny boy's bones?
[B]To lay beneath the trees
of our [Em]Tennessee home
A [G]box, a box [D]made from
sturdy white oak
With his [B]arms folded up and
his [Em]blue eyes all closed

[Verse 8]
Oh, [G]who will bring back my
[D]Johnny boy's bones?
[B]To lay beneath the trees
of our [Em]Tennessee home
A [G]box, a [Em]box m[G]ade
[D]from sturdy white oak
With his [B]arms folded up and
his [Em]blue eyes all closed
