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                   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 its 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

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
