 Andersonville


 (Dave Alvin)


 


 Capo 3


 


 (Am)In the spring of (G)'61 I kissed my mother good-(Am)bye


 I put on a blue (G)uniform and I fought for Lincoln's (Am)side


 'Til (G)I got caught by (Am)Johnny Reb


 In the (G)woods near Chapel (E)Hill


 I (Am)wish to God he would have (C)killed me then


 But he (G)sent me to Anderson(Am)ville (G) (Am)


 


 My uniform is (G)faded and there's no boots upon my (Am)feet


 And I'm pulling worms out (G)of the mud


 'Cause there's nothing else to (Am)eat


 And the (G)rebs can't even (Am)feed there own


 So (G)there's no way they can (E)fill the (Am)bellies of the (C)Yankees


 (G)Starving in Anderson(Am)ville


 


 Some (G)men are born to (Am)preach God's word


 (G)Some men are born to (E)kill


 And I (Am)guess that I was (C)only born


 To (G)die in Anderson(Am)ville (G) (Am)


 


 I dug a hole with my (G)bare hands in the red Georgia (Am)clay


 'Cause there ain't no shelter (G)from the sun


 Or the cold wind, or the (Am)rain


 And I'm (G)too damn weak to stand (Am)up at all


 So I (G)just lay quiet and (E)still


 And they can (Am)bury me in the (C)hole I dug


 When I (G)die in Anderson(Am)ville


 


 Some (G)men are born to (Am)preach God's word


 (G)Some men are born to (E)kill


 And I (Am)guess that I was (C)only born


 To (G)die in Anderson(Am)ville (G) (Am)


 


 [(G)(Am)(G)(Am)(G)(E] [)(Am)] [(C)] [(G)] [(Am)]  


 I dream the same dream (G)every night


 Of a woman that I've never (Am)known


 She's standing by a (G)warm fireside


 And she whispers that I've come (Am)home


 (G)Every morning (Am)when I wake


 I (G)pray someday that (E)she'll


 (Am)Lay a flower (C)on my grave


 When I (G)die in Anderson(Am)ville


 


 Some (G)men are born to (Am)preach God's word


 (G)Some men are born to (E)kill


 And I (Am)guess that I was (C)only born


 To (G)die in Anderson(Am)ville


 And I (Am)guess that I was (C)only born


 To (G)die in Anderson(Am)ville
