Tom: A A D A Well the mansion where the General used to live is burning down E Cottonfields are blue, with Sherman's troops A D A I overheard a Yankee say yesterday Nashville fell E A So I'm on my way, to join the fight General Lee might need my help. D But look away, look away Dixie, I don't want them to see A E A What they're doing to my Dixie, God Bless Robert E. Lee. Riff: D|----------------0-2-2-2----- A|---0-0-0-2-4------------4-- E|------------------------------ A D A Sherman's troops, burned Atlanta, and the flames lit up the sky E A And those of us who survived it, are watchin' my Dixie die. D A But today, at Appamattox, General Lee sat down E A And surrended to the Yankees and Ulysses S. Grant. D So look away look away Dixie, I don't want them to see A E A What they're doing to my Dixie, God Bless Robert E. Lee. Riff: A D A I won't ever stop loving you my Dixie, till they put me in the ground E A And the last words they probably hear from me are God Bless Robert E. Lee Riff: (Slowly, let ring)
