Johnny Reb Chords & Lyrics - Johnny Cash

[VERSE]
[E]You fought all the way Johnny Reb [A]Johnny Reb
[E]You fought all the way Johnny [A]Reb
[E]Saw you a marchin' with Robert E. [A]Lee
You [E]held your head a-high tryin' to win the victory
You [A]fought for your folks but you didn't die in [E]vain
Even though you lost they speak highly of your [A]name

[CHORUS]
[E]'Cause you fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny [A]Reb
You [E]fought all the way Johnny [A]Reb

[VERSE]
I [E]heard your teeth chatter from the cold [A]outside
S[E]aw the bullets open up the wounds in your side
I [A]saw the young boys as they begin to [E]fall
You [E]had tears in your eyes 'cause you couldn't help at [A]all
But [E]you fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny [A]Reb
You [E]fought all the way Johnny [A]Reb
I [E]saw General Lee raise the saber in his [A]hand
H[B7]eard the cannon's roar as you made your last stand
You marched [A]in the battle with the gray and the [E]red
When the cannon's smoke cleared took days to count the [A]dead

[CHORUS]
[E]'Cause you fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny [A]Reb
You [E]fought all the way Johnny [A]Reb

[VERSE]
[E]When "Honest Abe" heard the news about your [A]fall
The [E]folks thought he'd call a great victory ball
But he [A]asked the band to play the song [E]Dixie
For you Johnny Reb and all that you [A]believed

[CHORUS]
'[E]Cause you fought all the way Johnny Reb Johnny [A]Reb
Yeah [E]you fought all the way Johnny [A]Reb
