General Lee Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

[C]

[C]I'm a charger
That [Am]charges through the night
Like an [F]orange bolt of lightning

Passing everything in sight
I'm the [G]best pal the Duke boys' ever [Am]had
I'm [F]thunder on the highway looking [G]bad, bad, bad

I'm a [C]knight
Like the [Am]kind in shining armor
With my [F]polished body gleaming

I'm a fighter and a charmer
If [G]trouble comes your way just ask for [Am]me
My f[F]riends all know me as the [G]General [C]Lee

I'm the G[F]eneral Lee
A piston pumpin' steel belted [Em]cavalry
I'll never let you down when you're [G]riding with me
[F]Buckle up and I'll s[G]how you what [Am]I mean

[C]///[Bb]///[F]///[G]

Take a [F]look back there
Sirens blowing red lights flashing [Em]everywhere
We'll cross the field and we'll be runnin' [G]free
[F]They'll eat dust with [G]compliments of [Am]me

[F] [G]

The General [Am]Lee

[C]
[C]I'm a hero
And that's [Am]how I'll make you feel
When you're [F]riding shotgun with me

And the law is at your heels
I'm [G]glory bound and when the chase is [Am]done
I'll [F]take off through the mountains and have [G]fun, fun, fun

I've got [C]style
[Am]Tearing through the curves
With my [F]flag waving proudly to the people that I serve
I'm [G]number 1 and I'll always [Am]be
The [F]pride of the South they call the [G]General [C]Lee

I'm the [F]General Lee
A piston pumpin' steel belted [Em]cavalry
I'll never let you down when you're [G]riding with me
[F]Buckle up and I'll [G]show you what I [Am]mean

[C]///[Bb]///[F]///[G]

Take a [F]look back there
Sirens blowing red lights flashing [Em]everywhere
I'll jump that pond and we'll be running [G]free
And [F]they'll go swimming [G]compliments of [Am]me

[F] [G]

The General [Am]Lee

[F] [G]
The General [Am]Lee

[F] [G]
General [C]Lee
