Johnny Reb

C
You fought all the way Johnny Reb 
Johnny Reb
                                C
You fought all the way Johnny Reb

[Verse 1]
                        F        C
Saw you a marchin' with Robert E. 
Lee
You held your head a-high tryin' to 
        G7
win the victory
    F                         C
You fought for your folks but you 
didn't die in vain
Even though you lost they speak 
F              C
highly of your name

[Chorus]
 C
'Cause you fought all the way Johnny
 Reb Johnny Reb
                                C
You fought all the way Johnny Reb

[Verse 2]
                                F  
I heard your teeth chatter from the
      C
 cold outside
Continues after the ad
Saw the bullets open up the wounds 
        G7
in your side
  F                     C
I saw the young boys as they begin 
to fall
You had tears in your eyes 'cause 
    F                C
you couldn't help at all

[Chorus]
C
But you fought all the way Johnny 
Reb Johnny Reb
                                C
You fought all the way Johnny Reb

[Verse 3]
                            F      
I saw General Lee raise the saber 
      C
in his hand
Heard the cannon's roar as you made 
          G7
your last stand
    F                              
You marched in the battle with the 
C
gray and the red
When the cannon's smoke cleared took
 F                 C
 days to count the dead

[Chorus]
C
'Cause you fought all the way Johnny
 Reb Johnny Reb
                                C
You fought all the way Johnny Reb

[Verse 4]
                            F   
When "Honest Abe" heard the news 
            C
about your fall
The folks thought he'd call a great 
        G7
victory ball
   F                     C
But he asked the band to play the 
song Dixie
                       F           
For you Johnny Reb and all that you
   C
 believed

[Chorus]
C
'Cause you fought all the way Johnny
 Reb  Johnny Reb
Yeah you fought all the way Johnny 
  C
Reb
