[Intro]
Am   C   G   Am   Em   G   Am
Am   C   G   Am   Em   G   Am
[Verse 1]
AmI swear I Csee her in my Gdreams someAmtimes
held Emup in the Gmiddle of the Amnight
AmShaking like a Cpistol in a Gyoung man's Amhand
Emthere in the Gpale moonAmlight
AmStanding up on Ctop of that Glonely Amhill
Emspared by the coGmpany miAmne
is my Amblue-eyed Cbaby with her Gbest dress Amon
in the Emshadow of a Glonely Ampine
[Verse 2]
Ah, but Amback before the Cwar when the Gcompany Amcame
these Emhills grew Gwild and Amfree
Me and Ambaby, we'd Chide in the Ghollers Amlow
aEmway from the Gcruel sun's Amheat
But then they Amknocked down the Ctimber and Gburned off the Ambrush
to Emget to the Griches beAmlow
And when thAmey pulled out Cthey left the Gcoal-black Amground
And Emone pine Gstanding aAmlone
So take me DmhomeEm  
Lone Pine AmHill
[Verse 3]
Now AmI signed Cup back in Gsixty-Amone
I'm an EmArmy of VirGginia maAmn
I been from MaAmnassas to MacCkonackey all Gthe way to AmSailor's Creek
Emfightin' for Gmy homeAmland
Ah, but Amfour years Cgone and Gall hope Amlost
and EmRichmond Gunder siAmege
And we're Amdigging out CFive Forks Gwaiting in the Amrain
For EmSheridan to Gbring us to our Amknees
So take me DmhomeEm  
Lone Pine AmHill
[Bridge]
    CThere's a Gstrange moon hanging overAmhead tonight
    CAnd if the Grain keeps comin' then the Amcreek's gonna rise
   DmBut with the GGood Lord's Grace, CI'll C/Bmake it Amout of this place
   DmAnd I'll be in your arms come the Emmorning light, I Amswear
[Verse 4]
So AmGod grant me Cspeed, and Ggrant me forAmgiveness
and Emcarry me aGll through the nAmight
AmTake me through your Chills and Gover your Amrivers
aEmway from this Gawful fightAm  
'Cause I Amnever known a Cman that's Gever owned aAmnother
and I ain't Emnever owned Gnothing of my Amown
So after Amfour long Cyears I Gjust can't Amtell you
what the Emhell I've been Gfightin' fAmor
So take me DmhomeEm  
Lone Pine AmHill

C/B

[Intro]

Am C G Am Em G Am

[Verse 1]

Am C G Am

I swear I see her in my dreams sometimes

Em G Am

held up in the middle of the night

Am C G Am

Shaking like a pistol in a young man's hand

Em G Am

there in the pale moonlight

Am C G Am

Standing up on top of that lonely hill

Em G Am

spared by the company mine

Am C G Am

is my blue-eyed baby with her best dress on

Em G Am

in the shadow of a lonely pine

[Verse 2]

Am C G Am

Ah, but back before the war when the company came

Em G Am

these hills grew wild and free

Am C G Am

Me and baby, we'd hide in the hollers low

Em G Am

away from the cruel sun's heat

Am C G Am

But then they knocked down the timber and burned off the brush

Em G Am

to get to the riches below

Am C G Am

And when they pulled out they left the coal-black ground

Em G Am

And one pine standing alone

Dm Em

So take me home

Lone Pine Hill

[Verse 3]

Am C G Am

Now I signed up back in sixty-one

Em G Am

I'm an Army of Virginia man

Am C G Am

I been from Manassas to Mackonackey all the way to Sailor's Creek

Em G Am

fightin' for my homeland

Am C G Am

Ah, but four years gone and all hope lost

Em G Am

and Richmond under siege

Am C G Am

And we're digging out Five Forks waiting in the rain

Em G Am

For Sheridan to bring us to our knees

Dm Em

So take me home

Lone Pine Hill

[Bridge]

C G Am

There's a strange moon hanging overhead tonight

C G Am

And if the rain keeps comin' then the creek's gonna rise

Dm G C C/B Am

But with the Good Lord's Grace, I'll make it out of this place

Dm Em Am

And I'll be in your arms come the morning light, I swear

[Verse 4]

Am C G Am

So God grant me speed, and grant me forgiveness

Em G Am

and carry me all through the night

Am C G Am

Take me through your hills and over your rivers

Em G Am

away from this awful fight

Am C G Am

'Cause I never known a man that's ever owned another

Em G Am

and I ain't never owned nothing of my own

Am C G Am

So after four long years I just can't tell you

Em G Am

what the hell I've been fightin' for

Dm Em

So take me home
