Am Am7/G F F/E Dm Back with my wife in Tennessee, when one day she called to me, Am Am7/G F F/E Dm 'Virgil, quick, come see, there goes the Robert E. Lee!' C F Now I don't mind choppin' wood, C Dm and I don't care if the money's no good. C F You take what you need and leave the rest, C Dm D But they should never have taken the very best. (Chorus) Solo do teclado: Am Am7/G F F/E Dm (2x) C F C Dm C F C Dm D Solo Da Guitarra: Refrão Am Am7/G F F/E Dm Like my father before me, I will work the land, Am Am7/G F F/E Dm Like my brother above me, I took a rebel stand. C F He was just eighteen, proud and brave, C Dm But a Yankee laid him in his grave, C F I swear by the mud below my feet, C Dm D You can't raise a Caine back up when he's in defeat. (Chorus) ( C B Bb A Ab G F# F ) (Chorus)
