[Intro]
N.C.
Well I wish I was in the land of cotton
Old times they are not forgotten
Look away, look away, look away
Dixieland
Gm F F Gm
[Verse 1]
Gm F
Oh musket and cannon have torn his gray coat
F
Don't he look fine and handsome
Gm
Don't he look at his most
Gm F
45 in the foxhole and of this I will boast
D7
Don't they look fine and handsome
Gm
My poor Johnny Boy's Bones
[Chorus]
Gm F
Well who will bring back my Johnny Boy's Bones
D7 Gm
To lay beneath the trees of his Tennessee home
Gm F
A box, a box made of sturdy white oak
D7 Gm
With his arms folded up and his blue eyes all closed
[Verse 2]
Gm
Well he died for his country
F
And he died for his kin
F
And he died killing men
Gm
A most honorable sin
Gm
But them mean boys in blue
F
They done turned him in
D7
When they laid him low
Gm
With a laugh and a grin
[Chorus] (x3)
Gm F
Oh, who will bring back my Johnny Boy's Bones
D7 Gm
To lay beneath the trees of our Tennessee home
Gm F
A box, a box made of sturdy white oak
D7 Gm
With his arms folded up and his blue eyes all closed
