E A E 
 
Chorus: 
E 
You fought all the way Johnny Rebel Johnny Rebel 
You fought all the way Johnny Reb. 
 
E			     A             E 
I saw you were marchin with Robert E. Lee 
E			             B 
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 
E			           A                     E 
Even though you lost, they speak highly of your name. 
 
Chorus: Cause you.  
 
E		                            A     E 
I heard your teeth chatter from the cold outside 
E			  B 
Saw the bullets open up the wounds in your side 
   A 		           E 
I saw the young boys as they began to fall 
E				     A	                E 
You had tears in your eyes, cause you couldn't help at all. 
 
Chorus: But you... 
 
 E		             A                E 
I saw General Lee raise a saber in his hand 
E			       B 
Heard the cannons roar as you made your last stand 
        A			           E 
You marched into battle with the Grey and the Red 
E				    A                          E 
When the cannon smoke cleared took days to count the dead. 
 
Chorus: Cause you . 
 
E			    A		  E 
When Honest Abe heard the news about your fall 
       E               		     B	            
The folks thought he'd call, a great victory ball. 
       A			           E 
But he asked the band to play the song DIXIE 
      E			A                    E 
For you Johnny Rebel and all that you believe.
