Chorus: 
E5 
You fought all the way Johnny Rebel Johnny Rebel 

You fought all the way Johnny Reb. 
 

E5                       A5             E5 
I saw you were marchin with Robert E. Lee 
E5                               B5 
You held your head a high tryin to win the victory. 
        A5                              E5 
You fought for your folks, but you didn't die in vain 
E5                             A5                     E5 
Even though you lost, they speak highly of your name. 
 
Chorus: Cause you.  
 

E5                                        A5     E5 
I heard your teeth chatter from the cold outside 
E5                    B5 
Saw the bullets open up the wounds in your side 
   A5                        E5 
I saw the young boys as they began to fall 
E5                             A5                      E5 
You had tears in your eyes, cause you couldn't help at all. 
 
Chorus: But you... 
 

 E5                         A5                E5 
I saw General Lee raise a saber in his hand 
E5                         B5 
Heard the cannons roar as you made your last stand 
        A5                             E5 
You marched into battle with the Grey and the Red 
E5                            A5                          E5 
When the cannon smoke cleared took days to count the dead. 
 
Chorus: Cause you . 
 

E5                      A5              E5 
When Honest Abe heard the news about your fall 
       E5                                B5                  
The folks thought he'd call, a great victory ball. 
       A5                             E5 
But he asked the band to play the song DIXIE 
      E5                  A5                    E5 
For you Johnny Rebel and all that you believe.
