C
(INTRO)

C
the Southland's bleeding

F
the Union's pierced the heart of Dixie

C
still our Generals are leading

F
with the courage to set us free

C E F D
maybe it's time to count up all of the cost

C G
we're just hoping there'll be some changes

C F
wishful thinking, we're headed downhill

C G
they only way now is surrender

C
but we're fighting still
 


Am F
you know there ain't no real chance for us to win this

Am F
there won't be no victory dance at the finish

C F
it's just - Southern pride

C F
it's just - stubborn blindness

C F C G C
(GUITAR SOLO)
 


C
no young man's adventure

F
holding on to a fading lifestyle

C
maybe at first

F
now it's terror running wild

C E F D
there's no one willing to lend a helping hand

C G
they say we're foolish and we can't blame them

C F
let's stop this fighting while we can

C G
it takes a brave man, but to end this killing

C
it takes a braver man
 


Am F
you know there ain't no real chance for us to win this

Am F
there won't be no victory dance at the finish


C F
it's just - Southern pride

C F
it's just - stubborn blindness


C F
it's just - Southern pride

C F
it's just - stubborn blindness

C F
it's just - Southern pride

C F
it's just - stubborn blindness

C F
it's just - Southern pride

C F
it's just - stubborn blindness

C F
it's just - Southern pride
