God Bless Robert E. Lee

A                       D             A
Well the mansion where the General used to live is burning down
                              E
Cottonfields are blue, with Sherman's troops
  A               D        A
I overheard a Yankee say yesterday Nashville fell
                                     E             A
So I'm on my way, to join the fight General Lee might need my help.
                     D
But look away, look away Dixie, I don't want them to see
                  A     E              A
What they're doing to my Dixie, God Bless Robert E. Lee.

A                         D              A
Sherman's troops, burned Atlanta, and the flames lit up the sky
                    E            A
And those of us who survived it, are watchin' my Dixie die.
                 D         A
But today, at Appamattox, General Lee sat down
                E    A
And surrended to the Yankees and Ulysses S. Grant.
              D
So look away look away Dixie, I don't want them to see
             A     E                   A
What they're doing to my Dixie, God Bless Robert E. Lee.

I won't ever stop loving you my Dixie, till they put me in the ground
                               E                   A
And the last words they probably hear from me are God Bless Robert E. Lee
