D5              G5                 D5
Grandpa I been thinkin bout you lately 
D5                  G5                   A5
Wonderin if youd found your peace of mind
  D5              G5                  D5         
I guess youd be proud to know your grandsons 
G5                  E5          A5
Never crossed that Mason Dixon Line.

Chorus:
    G5                A5                  D5
And I Still Sing The Old Songs That you taught me
    G5               A5             D5
And I still pray to Jesus now and then
    G5               A5                 D5
And just like you I wish that he will save me
   G5               E5              A5
To see the day the South will rise again.

D5              G5               D5
Daddy wore his purple heart so proudly
D5             G5             A5
Long before I turned into a man
D5               G5                 D5
Buried with our flag acrossed his casket
G5               E5            A5
I was still too young to understand.

Chorus:

D5               G5                 D5
Momma spent her last years in the garden
D5               G5               A5
While I took my turn behind the gun
D5                G5                D5
Lord Id give my life to find the freedom
G5                E5                A5
Lost within the old songs that you sung.
