Johnny Reb what's the price of fans
EmF
Forty a piece or three for one dollar?
EmF
Hey captain don't you want to buy
EmCG
Some bone chains and toothpicks?
{same as first verse}
Night wings, her hair chains,
Here's your wooden greenback, sing
Wooden beams and dovetail sweep
I struck that picture ninety times,
I walked that path a hundred ninety,
Long, low time ago, people talk to me

A pistol hot cup of rhyme

The whiskey is water, the water is wine
GBmCC/B
Marching feet, Johnny Reb, what's the price of heroes?
{Em to F progression}
Six in one, half dozen the other,
Tell that to the captain's mother,
Hey captain don't you want to buy,
Some bone chains and toothpicks?
Night wings, her hair chains
Swan, swan, hummingbird
Hurrah, we are all free now
What noisy cats are we
Long, low time ago, people talk to me
A pistol hot cup of rhyme,
The whiskey is water, the water is wine
