[Em]In the winte[Am]r of '[F]65

[Em]And I don't mind choppin' [F]wood

[Verse 7]
[Am]Like my father before me[G]
[F]I'm a wor[C]kin' man
[Dm]And [Am]like my brother above me[G]
[F]who took a [Em]rebel [Dm]stand
He was [Am]just eighteen, [F]proud and brave
But a [C]Yankee laid [Dm]him in his grave

[Verse 8]
And I [Em]swear by the [Am]mud
Below [F]my feet
You can't [C]raise a Caine back [Dm]up
When he's in de[D]feat
