Sittin Up Drinkin With Robert E Lee

A                            
Takin' a trip in my old Chevy, 
  D
ridin' through the south
  A                         E
I looked up on a hill and I saw a 
big white house
  A                                
I caught a glimpse of a bearded man
 D
 polishing his sword
      A                           
Well, I saw Robert E. Lee outside 
E              A
sittin' on the porch

  A                               
I pulled up in the yard and saw a 
D
cotton field out back
   A                              
He invited me to sit with him and 
E
share a fifth of Jack
       A                           
He had criss-cross bars and 
        D
thirteen stars blowing in the wind
          A                    
He said, "Save your Confederate 
                       E        
money, boy 'cause the south will 
       A
rise again."


[Chorus]
    D                              
And Robert E. Lee did not like them
 A
 northerners one bit
         D                         
He was a rebel and he knew it and 
  A             E
he didn't give a shit
           D                       
We've been talkin' about Dixie and 
    A                 F#m
how old times used to be
              D          A        
And I've been sittin' up drinkin' 
     E         A
with Robert E. Lee


[Verse 2]
A                                 
We talked about his troops in the 
D
rebel infantry
          A                        
And those thirteen southern states 
     E
that live in infamy
      A                        D
As he took another swig of his black
 label whiskey

          A                      
He said, "That yankee pride don't 
        E             A
mean a damn thing to me."

   A                               
He spoke about his men and how they
 D
 always fought so brave
    A                              
And how they wove their sacred flag
        E
 though many lives they gave
   A                              
He struggled to gain independence 
D
for his southern ground
   A                               
He stood up for his cause and never
 E                A
 once did he back down


[Chorus]
    D                              
And Robert E. Lee did not like them
 A
 northerners one bit
         D                         
He was a rebel and he knew it and 
  A             E
he didn't give a shit
           D                       
We've been talkin' about Dixie and 
    A                 F#m
how old times used to be
              D          A        
And I've been sittin' up drinkin' 
     E         A
with Robert E. Lee


[Verse 3]
       A                        D
It was two o'clock A.M. and the fire
 was gettin' low
     A                             
So I thanked him for our talk 
         E
'cause it was time for me to go
      A                            
While walkin' to my car, I turned 
  D
to thank him once again
        A                        
But the light was bare, there was 
                   E               
nothing there but rock and dirt and
  A
 sand


[Bridge]
F#m                   E          
Was it my imagination playing 
     A
with my head?
  F#m              A             
I remember hearing clearly every 
E              A
single word he said
      F#m                          
Every movement, every gesture, 
        E             A
every tear that his heart shed
    D              A          E  
His dream is still alive even 
               A
though his body's dead


[Verse 4]
A                            D
Robert E. Lee's memory lives on in 
the southern soul
A                                  
Along with his boys who fought and 
E
died out in the cold
A                                 
Lee was a man with tons of courage
       D
 and a hero without a doubt
         A                         
He was a man with determination, he
       E            A
 was a man from the south


[Chorus]
    D                              
And Robert E. Lee did not like them
 A
 northerners one bit
         D                         
He was a rebel and he knew it and 
  A             E
he didn't give a shit
           D                       
We've been talkin' about Dixie and 
    A                 F#m
how old times used to be
              D          A        
And I've been sittin' up drinkin' 
     E         A
with Robert E. Lee

           D                       
We've been talkin' about Dixie and 
    A                 F#m
how old times used to be
              D          A        
And I've been sittin' up drinkin' 
     E         A
