Chorus: 
E 
You fought all the way Johnny Rebel Johnny Rebel 
You fought all the way Johnny Reb. 
 
E                            A             E 
I saw you were marchin with Robert E. Lee 
E                                    B 
You held your head a high tryin to win the victory. 
        A                               E 
You fought for your folks, but you didn't die in vain 
E                                  A                     E 
Even though you lost, they speak highly of your name. 
 
Chorus: Cause you.  
 
E                                           A     E 
I heard your teeth chatter from the cold outside 
E                         B 
Saw the bullets open up the wounds in your side 
   A                       E 
I saw the young boys as they began to fall 
E                                    A                  E 
You had tears in your eyes, cause you couldn't help at all. 
 
Chorus: But you... 
 
 E                           A                E 
I saw General Lee raise a saber in his hand 
E                              B 
Heard the cannons roar as you made your last stand 
        A                                  E 
You marched into battle with the Grey and the Red 
E                                   A                          E 
When the cannon smoke cleared took days to count the dead. 
 
Chorus: Cause you . 
 
E                           A             E 
When Honest Abe heard the news about your fall 
       E                             B              
The folks thought he'd call, a great victory ball. 
       A                                   E 
But he asked the band to play the song DIXIE 
      E                 A                    E 
For you Johnny Rebel and all that you believe. 
 
Chorus: Cause you.Yeah you.
