Johnny Reb Chords

[Verse]
E                                 A
You fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb
E                             A
You fought all the way Johnny Reb 
E                                 A
Saw you a marchin' with Robert E. Lee
    E
You held your head a-high tryin' to win the victory
    A                                           E
You fought for your folks but you didn't die in vain
                                               A
Even though you lost they speak highly of your name 
 
[Chorus]
E                                               A
'Cause you fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb
    E                         A
You fought all the way Johnny Reb
 
[Verse]
  E                                      A
I heard your teeth chatter from the cold outside
 E
Saw the bullets open up the wounds in your side
  A                                   E
I saw the young boys as they begin to fall
    E                                                  A
You had tears in your eyes 'cause you couldn't help at all 
    E                                        A
But you fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb
    E                         A
You fought all the way Johnny Reb 
  E                                      A
I saw General Lee raise the saber in his hand
 B7
Heard the cannon's roar as you made your last stand 
            A                                   E
You marched in the battle with the gray and the red
                                                       A
When the cannon's smoke cleared took days to count the dead 
 
[Chorus]
E                                               A
'Cause you fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb
    E                         A
You fought all the way Johnny Reb
 
[Verse]
E                                           A
When "Honest Abe" heard the news about your fall
    E
The folks thought he'd call a great victory ball
       A                               E
But he asked the band to play the song Dixie
                                    A
For you Johnny Reb and all that you believed
 
[Chorus]
 E                                               A
'Cause you fought all the way Johnny Reb  Johnny Reb 
     E                             A
Yeah you fought all the way Johnny Reb
