Im A Good Old Rebel Chords & Lyrics - Ry Cooder

[VERSE 1]

Oh, [Am]I'm a [C]good old Re-bel
Now, [Am]that's just [G]what I [Am]am
For [C]this fair land of free-dom
I [Am]do not care a damn.
I'm [C]glad I fought a-gainst it
I [Am]only wish we'd won.
And [C]I don't want no par-don
For [G]a-ny-thing I've [Am]done.

[VERSE 2]

I [Am]hates the [C]Yankee na-tion
And [Am]eve-ry-[G]thing they [Am]do,
I [C]hates the De-cla-ra-tion
Of [Am]In-de-pen-dence, too;
I [C]hates the glorious Union-
'Tis [Am]dripping with our blood-
And I [C]hates their strip-ed banner,
I [G]fought it all I [Am]could.

[VERSE 3]

Three [Am]hundred [C]thousand Yank-ees
Stiff-[Am]en in [G]South-ern [Am]dust
We [C]got three hundred thou-sand
Be-[Am]fore they conquered us
They [C]died of Southern fe-ver
And [Am]Southern steel and shot
And I [C]wish it was three mil-lion
In-[G]stead of what we [Am]got.

[VERSE 4]

I [Am]won't be [C]re-con-struct-ed
I'm [Am]better [G]now than [Am]then
And [C]for that carpet-bag-ger
I [Am]do not give a damn
So [C]I'm off for the fron-tier
[Am]Soon as I can go
I'll [C]pre-pare a wea-pon
And [G]start for Mex-i-[Am]co
