[Em][D][G][D][C][Am][G][D][C]
[G]

[Verse 1]
Born [D]upon [G]the [D]blue ridge,
at [C]the Carolina [Am]line
[G]Bap[D]tized on the banks
of the new [C]river
[G]Brought [D]upon blue grass
and [G]clear moon [C]shine
[G]An d tough as iron but a [D]heart
soft as leather
[C][G][Am]

[Verse 2]
[G]Levi, [C]lor[G]d, [Am]lord, lord,[D]
they shot him [G]down[C][Am]
Ten thousand [D]miles from
a southern [G]town[C][G][Am]
[D]Oh, Levi
[G][C][G][Am]

[Verse 3]
[D]
Like [G]a fire [D]on a mountain,
running [C]wild with [G]no [Am]states
Playing [G]nights on the [D]glory horse shoe
And In[C]dian raids
Now it's [G]parachutes and
[D]combat boots
They [G]camouflaged they [C]planes[G]
And a country boy who [D]don't belong
In the [C]desert any[Am]ways

[Verse 4]
[G]Levi, [C]lor[G]d, [Am]lord, lord,[D]
they shot him [G]down[C]
[Am]Ten thousand miles[D] from
a southern [G]town[C][G]
[Am]Oh, [D]Levi

[Verse 5]
Well [Bm]the sandbox sure gets lonesome
And it's a [Em]hundred and nine degrees
Singing [Bm]carry my back to Virginia
Lord I'm [C]down here on my [D]knees
In a [G]market skrell while
[D]the bells were ringing
[C]Loud [G]to fill [Am]the air
[G]Levi [D]gazed his eyes out, to the [C]rocket player
Be [G]on the desert and [D]the ocean
To the [G]farthest fields [C]on home
And [G]when the bullets pierced his body
[D]He was alr[C]eady gon[Am]e

[Verse 6]
[G]Levi, [C]lor[Am]d, lord, lord,
[D]they shot him [G]down[C][Am]
Ten thousand [D]miles from
a southern [G]town[C]
[Am]Oh, [D]Levi[G], lord[C], lo[Am]rd, lord,[D]
they shot [G]him down[C]
[Am]Oh, [D]Levi[G], oh L[C]evi.[G][Am][D][G]
