Am C F C Dm Virgil Caine is the name, and I served on the Danville train Am C F C Dm 'Til Stoneman's cavalry came and tore up the tracks again Am F C Dm In the winter of '65, We were hungry, just barely alive Am F By May the tenth, Richmond had fell, C Dm D it's a time I remember, oh so well Chorus: C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 The night they drove Old Dixie down, and the bells were ringing C Fmaj7 C Fmaj7 The night they drove Old Dixie down, and the people were singin' C Am Gsus4 F C They went, "La, la, la" Back with my wife in Tennessee When one day she called to me "Virgil, quick, come see, there goes Robert E.Lee" Now I don't mind choppin' wood And I don't care if the money's no good Ya take what ya need and ya leave the rest But they should never have taken the very best Chorus: The night they drove old Dixie down And the bells were ringing The night they drove old Dixie down And the people were singing They went, "La, la, la" Like my father before me, I will work the land And like my brother above me, who took a rebel stand He was just eighteen, proud and brave But a Yankee laid him in his grave I swear by the mud below my feet You can't raise a Caine back up when he's in defeat Chorus: The night they drove old Dixie down And the bells were ringing The night they drove old Dixie down And the people were singing They went, "La, la, la" The night they drove old Dixie down And the bells were ringing The night they drove old Dixie down And the people were singing They went, "La, la, la" | TransposeReset Font sizeReset Ukulele Chord DiagramsAm  C  D  Dm  E  F  Fm  F#  Fmaj7  Fmaj  G  Gsus4  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each ukulele chord used in the song.
