[Intro]
E

[Verse 1]
E
Shine Marley was a grey coat soldier, proud as he was poor
A
Loved a Tennessee girl by the name of Nora Jane, but he loved fightin’
E
Yankees more
A
Rode off on a sway back mule, early on one frosty morn'
E B7 E
Died on the field at Shiloh, 21 years from the day he was born

[Chorus]
A E
Oh my soul cries out for Nora, all up and down the line
B7 E
Oh my soul cries out for Nora, wake up darlin’, it’s ole Shine

[Verse 2]
E
Old times there were long forgotten, after Shine’s last stand
A E
Nora Jane was left to face the years alone in the ruins of Dixieland
A
There was none so fair, and never one so true
E B7 E
At night he climbs her stairs to dust the Shiloh on his shoes

[Chorus]
A E
Oh my soul cries out for Nora, all up and down the line

Oh my soul cries out for Nora, wake up darlin’, it’s ole Shine

Yeah my soul cries out for Nora, she shall remain forever mine

Oh my soul cries out for Nora, wake up darlin’ it’s ole Shine
