(Intro)

Bm              A              Gmaj7              (D)

Bm              A              Gmaj7              (D)

(Verses)

Bm              A              Gmaj7              (D)
Virgil Caine is the name, and I served on the Danville Train 
Back home in Tennessee when my wife called to me 
Like my father before me, oh I shall work the lands 

Bm              A              Gmaj7 
'til Stoneman's cavalry came and tore up the tracks again
Virgil quick come see there goes the Robert E. Lee
Like my brother below me he took a rebel stand 

D              Gmaj7              D              Gmaj7 
in the winter of '65 we were hungry just barely alive 
Now I don't mind chopping wood and I don't care if the money's no good
Well he was just 18 and proud and brave, and a yankee laid him in his grave 

D              Gmaj7              D              E7 
I pitched my tent and Richmond had fell, it was a time I remember oh so...
Take what you need and leave the rest, they should have never taken, the very...
And I swear by the mud below my feet, you can't raise up the Caine, when its in... 

A9sus4              A 

...well... 
...best... 
...defeat.. 

(Chorus) 

D*              Gmaj7              D*              Gmaj7 
The night they drove Old Dixie down and the bells were ringing 

D*              Gmaj7              D*              Gmaj7 
the night they drove Old Dixie down, and the people were singing, they said 


D*              Bm              A              Gmaj7   A 
Na na na na na na            No no no no no no no no 

(Back to next Verse or outro last time)

D*              Bm              A              Gmaj7 

No no no no no no no no no no no no no no 

Gmaj7              Gmaj7              A              Bm
