D5                                         G5
Well I come from the valley, I'm a rebel boy. 

D5                             A5
Born on the banks of the Shenandoah. 

D5                      G5
In '61, I went to the war, 

D5           A5      D5
To win one for Virginia! 

D5                                           G5
Ya my brother went first and they called me to. 

D5                                     A5
I was green as clover in the morning dew.

D5                                            G5 
So I marched to the drum and I sang to the tune. 

D5          A5        D5
Carry me back to Virginia! 

 


A5                   D5
Fire in the cannon, water in the well,

G5                                 A5 
Raced through the valley with a rebel yell. 

A5                             D5                    G5             A5
I learned right quick how to march like hell and affix that bayonet. 



D5                  G5 
Wont ya carry me back? 

D5                  G5
Wont ya carry me back?

D5                  A5    D5 
Carry me back to Virginia.
