[Verse 1]
Am C
Oh, I'm a good old Re-bel
Am G Am
Now, that's just what I am
C
For this fair land of free-dom
Am
I do not care a damn.
C
I'm glad I fought a-gainst it
Am
I only wish we'd won.
C
And I don't want no par-don
G Am
For a-ny-thing I've done.

[Verse 2]
Am C
I hates the Yankee na-tion
Am G Am
And eve-ry-thing they do,
C
I hates the De-cla-ra-tion
Am
Of In-de-pen-dence, too;
C
I hates the glorious Union-
Am
'Tis dripping with our blood-
C
And I hates their strip-ed banner,
G Am
I fought it all I could.

[Verse 3]
Am C
Three hundred thousand Yank-ees
Am G Am
Stiff-en in South-ern dust
C
We got three hundred thou-sand
Am
Be-fore they conquered us
C
They died of Southern fe-ver
Am
And Southern steel and shot
