G  D  C  Am  G  D  C  C
 
 
 
G              D                 C        Am
Born up on the blue ridge at the Carolina line
 
G               D                C
Baptized on the banks of the new river
 
G             D             Am        C
Brought up on bluegrass and clear moonshine
 
G                   D             C     Am
Tough as iron but a heart soft as leather
 
G  C Am        D                    G C
Levi Lord Lord Lord the shot him down
 
Am           D                         G C
Ten thousand miles from a southern town
 
Am  D  G   C Am D
Oh  oh Levi
 
G                  D                C             Am
Like a fire on the mountain running wild in those days
 
        G                        D                    C
Playing nights of the golden horseshoe and Indian raids
 
         G              D                Am            C
Now it's parachutes and combat boots and camouflage airplanes
 
      G               D                   C         Am
And a country boy who don't belong in the desert anyway
 
G  C Am        D                    G C
Levi Lord Lord Lord the shot him down
 
Am           D                         G C
Ten thousand miles from a southern town
 
Am  D  G   C Am D
Oh  oh Levi

Bm                                             Em
Well the sand box sure gets lonesome and its a hundred and nine degrees
 
Bm                                         C               D
Singing carry me back to Virginia Lord I'm down here on my knees
 
G                              D                  C                Am
In the market square while the bells were ringing loud to fill the air
 
G               D                    C
Levi gazed his eyes out through the rocket glare
 
           G              D            Am                 C
Beyond the desert and the ocean to the furthest fields of home
 
             G                   D            C      Am
And when the bullets pierced his body he was already gone
 
 
G  C Am        D                    G C
Levi Lord Lord Lord the shot him down
 
Am           D                         G C
Ten thousand miles from a southern town
 
Am  D G  C Am        D                    G C
Oh oh Levi Lord Lord Lord the shot him down 
 
Am  D  G   C
Oh  oh Levi
 
Am  D
Oh  oh Levi
