V1:
            G                            F
Well I came back from the Civil War Just twenty-two years old
       C                           F     C       G
I done killed American men Now the devil owns my soul
          G                               F
Well I''ve always been a Christian man And that''s not hard to tell
         C                                       F      C     G
But with all the killin that I''ve done Well I''ll surely go to hell

CHORUS:
       G                         F
Well I am a rebel soldier No I''m not afraid to fight
        C                         F      C        G
For the lives of the innocent And all my Southern pride
       G                       F
Well I am rebel soldier No I''m not afraid to die
        C                               F         C      G 
You may hang me in the morning But I''ll haunt you in the night

And Track down those sons a bithces That torched up all our land
