Verse

G              D
Born up on the blue ridge
       C        Am
at the Carolina line
G               D
Baptized on the banks
           C     C
of the new river…
G             D
Brought up on bluegrass
    Am        C
and clear moonshine
G                   D
Tough as iron but a heart
        C     Am
soft as leather

Chorus

G    C
Levi…
Am        D
Lord Lord Lord they shot him
G      C
down….
Am           D
Ten thousand miles
                G    C
from a southern town…
Am  D
Oh  oh
G   C
Levi
Am       D

Verse

G                  D
Like a fire on the mountain
        C             Am
running wild in those days
        G                    D
Playing nights of the golden horseshoe
    C            C
and Indian raids…
         G              D
Now it's parachutes and combat boots
    Am            C
and camouflage airplanes
      G               D
And a country boy who don't belong
       C         Am
in the desert anyway

Chorus

Solo over Verse Chords

Bridge

Bm
Well the sand box sure gets lonesome
    Em
and its a hundred and nine degrees
Bm
Singing carry me back to Virginia
         C               D
Lord I'm down here on my knees

Verse

G                              D
In the market square while the bells were ringing
C                Am
loud to fill the air
G               D                    C
Levi gazed his eyes out through the rocket glare
           G              D
Beyond the desert and the ocean
       Am                 C
to the furthest fields of home
             G                   D
And when the bullets pierced his body
        C      Am
he was already gone
