You fought for your folks but you didn't die in vain

Even though you lost they speak highly of your name

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

You fought all the way Johnny Reb

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  

 
E                                               A  
'Cause you fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny Reb 
    E                         A  
You fought all the way Johnny Reb

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 
  

 E                                               A 
'Cause you fought all the way Johnny Reb  Johnny Reb
