Intro: G. D. C. Am. ( walk down C to Am throughout song)
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. C. Am
Brought up on the bluegrass, and clear moon shine
G. D. C
Tough as iron, but a heart as soft as leather
G. C. Am. D. G
Levi, lord, lord, lord the shot him down
C-Am. D. G
10,000 miles from a southern town
C-Am. D. G
Oh Levi
G. D. C. Am
Like fire on a mountain, running wild in those days
G. D. C
Playing knights of the golden horse shoe and Indian raids
G. D. C. Am
Now it's parachutes and combat boots and camouflaged airplanes
G. D. C
And a country boy who don't belong in the desert anyway
G. C. Am. D. G
Levi, lord, lord, lord the shot him down
C-Am. D. G
10,000 miles from a southern town
C-Am. D. G
Oh Levi
[Bm]Well the sand box sure gets lonesome
[Em]Ands 109 degrees
[Bm]Singing carry me back to Virginia
[C]Lord I'm down here on my knees
G. D. C. Am
In a market square where the bells were ringing loud to fill the air
G. D. C
Levi gazed his eyes out to the rocket glare
G. D. C. Am
Beyond the desert and the ocean, to the farthest fields of home
G. D. C
And when the bullets pierced his body he was already gone
G. C. Am. D. G
Levi, lord, lord, lord the shot him down
C-Am. D. G
10,000 miles from a southern town
C-Am. D. G
Oh Levi
