GBorn up on the Blue RidDge at the Carolina line C Am
GBaptized on the banks of Dthe New River C
GBrought up on the bluegrass,D and clear moon shine C Am
GTough as iron, but a heart aDs soft as leather C
GLeviC, Amlord, lord, Dlord the shot him down G
C Am 10,000D miles from a southern town G
C Am DOh GLevi
GLike fire on a mountaDin, running wild in those days C Am
GPlaying knights of the golden horse shoe and DIndian raids C
GNow it's parachutes and combat boots aDnd camouflaged airplanes C Am
GAnd a country boy who don't belong in Dthe desert anyway C
GLeviC, Amlord, lord, Dlord the shot him down G
C Am 10,000D miles from a southern town G
C Am DOh GLevi
BmWell the sand box sure gets lonesome
EmAnds 109 degrees
BmSinging carry me back to Virginia
CLord I'm down here on my knees
GIn a market square where the Dbells were ringing loud to fill the air C Am
GLevi gazed his eyes ouDt to the rocket glare C
GBeyond the desert and the ocean, to the fDarthest fields of homeC Am
GAnd when the bullets pierced his Dbody he was already gone C
GLeviC, Amlord, lord, Dlord the shot him down G
C Am 10,000D miles from a southern town G
C Am DOh GLevi
