[Intro]
/ D - - G / D - A - / D - - G / D A D - / (x2)
[Verse 1]
D G
Well I come from the valley, I'm a rebel boy.
D A
Born on the banks of the Shenandoah.
D G
In '61, I went to the war,
D A D
To win one for Virginia!
[Instrumental]
/ D - - G / D - A - / D - - G / D A D - /
D G
Ya my brother went first and they called me too.
D A
I was green as clover in the morning dew.
D G
So I marched to the drum and I sang to the tune.
D A D
Carry me back to Virginia!
[Bridge 1]
A D
Fire in the cannon, water in the well,
G D
Raced through the valley with a rebel yell.
A D G A
I learned right quick how to march like hell and affix that bayonet.
[Chorus]
D G
Wont ya carry me back?
D G
Wont ya carry me back?
D A D
Carry me back to Virginia.
[Fiddle solo]
/ D - G - / D - G - / D A D - /
[Verse 2]
D G
With a sword and a saddle, Powder in the gun.
D A
We thought for a minute our fight was done.
D G
So they lined us up to the metals arm,
D A D
And hammered us into the quicksand.
D G
Then they burned that valley in a blaze of fire,
D A
Cut through the lands like a red hot iron.
D G
Til the men took cover where the horses piled,
D A D
Then we shivered and then hold against them.
[Bridge 2]
A D
But the war raged on like flames of hell,
G D
We dug through the pockets of the ones who fell,
A D
Dressed in rags and we ate that grass
G A
When they cut off our legs we cried!
[Chorus]
D G
Wont ya carry me back?
D G
Wont ya carry me back?
D A D
Carry me back to Virginia. (repeat chorus)
[Fiddle solo] (bridge chords x2 then chorus chords x2)

[Verse 3]
D G
And they died in the valley, Died in the swamp,
D A
On the banks of the river where the whitetail jumped.
D G
Died in the ditches, Died in the fields,
D
In the belly of a wagon for a womans to heal
D G
Died in the war, Starved in the camps.
D A
Locked in the prisons of a meaner man.
D G
Spilled our blood in the fight to defend
D
And to bury the tome of a-dixieland!
[Bridge 3]
A D
Down in Alabama, down in Caroline,
G D
Way down in Gerogie, on the Tennesee line.
A D
We fought for the rebels, and Robert E. Lee,
G A
Now we want to go home to Virginia.
G A
Say we want to go home to Virginia!
[Chorus]
D G
Wont ya carry me back?
D G
Wont ya carry me back?
D A D
Carry me back to Virginia.
D G
Wont ya carry me back?
D G
Wont ya carry me back?
D A D
I wanna be buried in Virginia!
(repeat chorus chords x2)
