The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
Virgil [D]Cain
is my name
And I drove on a brand new train
Till so much cavalry came
And tore up the tracks again
In the winter of sixty -five
We were hungry, just barely alive
I took a train to
Richmond
That fell, it was the time I
re[Bm]member oh so [E]well
The [D]night they [Bm]drove [D]old
[G]Dixie [D]down
And all the [Bm]bells were ringing
The [D]night they drove [Bm]old
[G]Dixie [D]down
And all the [Bm]people were singing
They [D]went na -na -na -n[Bm]a -na -na -na
[E]Na -na -na -na -na [G]-na -na -na -na [D]-na
[Bm]That was my wife [D]in
Tennessee, one [G]day she said to [Bm]me[D]
Virgil, [Bm]quick go see,
[G]there goes the robbery [Bm]league
[G]Now I don't mind them chop[D]ping wood,
and I [Bm]don't care if the [G]money's no good
Just [Bm]take what you need and [G]leave the rest
But they should [D]never have
[Bm]taken the very [E]best
The [D]night they drove old
[G]Dixie down
[D]And all the bel[Bm]ls were ringing
The [D]night they [Bm]drove old
[G]Dixie [D]down
And all the [Bm]people were singing
They went [D]na -na -na -na [Bm]-na -na -na
[E]Na -na -na -na -na -n[G]a -na
-na [D]-na[Bm][D][Bm][D]
[Bm]Like my father before [D]me, well,
[G]I'm a workin' man[Bm]
[D]Like my brother before [Bm]me,
[G]I took a rebel stand
[Bm]Well, he was just [G]eighteen,
[D]proud and brave
But a
[Bm]Yan kee laid him i[G]n his grave
I [Bm]swear by the blood below [G]my feet
You can't [D]raise the cane back
[Bm]up when it's in the fi[E]eld
The [D]night they drove old
[G]Dixie [D]down
And all the [Bm]bells were ringing
The [D]night they [Bm]drove old
[G]Dixie [D]down
And all the [Bm]people were singing
They went [D]na -na -na -na [Bm]-na -na -na
Na [E]-na -na -na -na [G]-na -na
-na [Bm]-na[D][E]
[D][G]
[D]And all the bel[Bm]ls were ringing
the [D]night they drove old
[G]Dixie [D]down, and all the [Bm]people were
singing the [D]night they drove [Bm]old
[G]Dixie [D]down, and all the [Bm]bells were
ringing the [D]night they
They [Bm]drove old
[G]Dixie [D]down
And all the [Bm]people were singing that [D]night
They drove old
Dixie down
And all the bells were ringing
