[Verse 1] A D Takin' a trip in my old Chevy, ridin' through the south A E I looked up on a hill and I saw a big white house A D I caught a glimpse of a bearded man polishing his sword A E A Well, I saw Robert E. Lee outside sittin' on the porch A D I pulled up in the yard and saw a cotton field out back A E He invited me to sit with him and share a fifth of Jack A D He had criss-cross bars and thirteen stars blowing in the wind A E A He said, "Save your Confederate money, boy 'cause the south will rise again." [Chorus] D A And Robert E. Lee did not like them northerners one bit D A E He was a rebel and he knew it and he didn't give a shit D A F#m We've been talkin' about Dixie and how old times used to be D A E A And I've been sittin' up drinkin' with Robert E. Lee [Verse 2] A D We talked about his troops in the rebel infantry A E And those thirteen southern states that live in infamy A D As he took another swig of his black label whiskey A E A He said, "That yankee pride don't mean a damn thing to me." A D He spoke about his men and how they always fought so brave A E And how they wove their sacred flag though many lives they gave A D He struggled to gain independence for his southern ground A E A He stood up for his cause and never once did he back down [Chorus] D A And Robert E. Lee did not like them northerners one bit D A E He was a rebel and he knew it and he didn't give a shit D A F#m We've been talkin' about Dixie and how old times used to be D A E A And I've been sittin' up drinkin' with Robert E. Lee [Verse 3] A D It was two o'clock A.M. and the fire was gettin' low A E So I thanked him for our talk 'cause it was time for me to go A D While walkin' to my car, I turned to thank him once again A E A But the light was bare, there was nothing there but rock and dirt and sand [Bridge] F#m E A Was it my imagination playing with my head? F#m A E A I remember hearing clearly every single word he said F#m E A Every movement, every gesture, every tear that his heart shed D A E A His dream is still alive even though his body's dead [Verse 4] A D Robert E. Lee's memory lives on in the southern soul A E Along with his boys who fought and died out in the cold A D Lee was a man with tons of courage and a hero without a doubt A E A He was a man with determination, he was a man from the south [Chorus] D A And Robert E. Lee did not like them northerners one bit D A E He was a rebel and he knew it and he didn't give a shit D A F#m We've been talkin' about Dixie and how old times used to be D A E A And I've been sittin' up drinkin' with Robert E. Lee D A F#m We've been talkin' about Dixie and how old times used to be D A E A And I've been sittin' up drinkin' with Robert E. Lee
