Intro: D G D A D G D A D 

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!  

D                                           G 
Ya my brother went first and they called me to.  

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!  

  


A                   D 
Fire in the cannon  water in the well  

G                                 A  
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.  



D                  G  
Wont ya carry me back?  

D                  G 
Wont ya carry me back? 

D                  A    D  
Carry me back to Virginia.
