Levi Acordes

[Intro]
G   D   C G/B Am
G   D   C
 
[Verse 1]
G              D                 C  G/B  Am
Born up on the Blue Ridge at the Carolina line
G                D                 C
Baptized on the banks of the new river
G             D              G        C
Brought up on bluegrass and clear moonshine
       G                   D             C   G/B  Am
He was tough as iron but a heart soft as leather
 
[Chorus]
G     C  G/B  Am          D                  G
Levi            Lord Lord Lord they shot him down
C  G/B  Am           D                      G
        Ten thousand miles from a southern town
C  G/B  Am   D   G   C G/B Am  D
        oh   oh Levi
 
[Verse 2]
G                  D                 C       G/B    Am
Like a fire on the mountain, running wild in those days
        G                     D             C
Playing knights of the golden horseshoe and Indian raids
         G              D                G              C
Now it's parachutes and combat boots and camouflaged airplanes
      G               D                   C     G/B  Am
And a country boy who don't belong in the desert anyway
 
[Chorus]
G     C  G/B  Am          D                  G
Levi            Lord Lord Lord they shot him down
C  G/B  Am           D                      G
        Ten thousand miles from a southern town
C  G/B  Am   D   G   C G/B Am  D
        oh   oh Levi
 
[Solo]
G   D   C G/B Am
G   D   C
G   D   Am   C
G   D   C G/B Am
 
[Bridge]
Bm                                               Em
Well, the sand box sure gets lonesome and it's a hundred and nine degrees
        Bm                                  C               D
Singing carry me back to Virginia, Lord I'm down here on my knees
 
[Verse 3]
       G                       D                  C       G/B     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             G                 C
Beyond the desert and the ocean to the furthest fields of home
             G                   D           C      G/B Am
And when the bullets pierced his body he was already gone
 
[Chorus]
G     C  G/B  Am          D                  G
Levi            Lord Lord Lord they shot him down
C  G/B  Am           D                      G
        Ten thousand miles from a southern town
C  G/B  Am   D   G   C G/B Am        D                  G
        oh   oh Levi       Lord Lord Lord they shot him down
C  G/B  Am  D           C  G/B  Am  D
    oh oh Levi             oh  oh Levi
