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
