[Intro]
C

[Verse 1]
Am      C                                  F                               Am
Virgil Caine is my name and I drove on the Danville train
C                  Am                       F                          Am
'Til so much cavalry came and tore up the tracks again
F                        C                  Am              F
In the winter of '65, we were hungry, just barely alive
Am                         F                                        C         Am                D D7 
I took the train to Richmond that fell, it was a time I remember oh so well

[Chorus]
          C             Am          F       C                         Am
The night they drove old Dixie down, and all the bells were ringin'
        C               Am          F       C                           Am
The night they drove old Dixie down, and all the people were singin', they went:
C                 Am            D                 F                                C C/B C/A C/G C C/B C/A C/G 
"Naa na-na naa na-na, na-naa na-naa na-naa na-na-naa"

[Verse 2]
Am                            C                       F                            Am
Back with my wife in Tennessee, and one day she said to me
C           Am                   F                                   Am
"Virgil, quick come see, there goes the Robert E Lee."
         F                  C                               Am                     F
Now, I don't mind choppin' wood, and I don't care if the money's no good
        Am                                F                                               C      Am    D      D7 
Just take what you need and leave the rest, but they should never have taken the very best.

[Chorus]
       C               Am            F       C                        Am
The night they drove old Dixie down, and all the bells were ringin'
       C                Am         F       C                          Am
The night they drove old Dixie down, and all the people were singin', they went:
C                 Am            D                    F                              C C/B C/A C/G C C/B C/A C/G 
"Naa na-na naa na-na, na-naa na-naa na-naa na-na-naa"

[Verse 3]
Am                       C         F                    Am
Like my father before me, I'm a workin' man
C                                  Am      F                       Am
And like my brother before me, I took a rebel stand
                    F                      C                                 Am                     F
Well, he was just eighteen, proud and brave, but a Yankee laid him in his grave
   Am                             F                                 C                        Am           D    D7 
I swear by the blood below my feet, you can't raise a Caine back up when he's in defeat.

[Chorus]
         C             Am             F         C                     Am
The night they drove old Dixie down, and all the bells were ringin'
        C               Am         F         C                        Am
The night they drove old Dixie down, and all the people were singin', they went:
C                Am             D                   F                              F Am
"Naa na-na naa na-na, na-naa na-naa na-naa na-na-naa"
