The General Lee
By Johnny Cash
C Am
I’m a Charger, That Charges Through The Night
F
Like An Orange Bolt Of Lightning, Passing Everything In Sight
G Am
I’m The Best Pal The Duke Boy’s Ever Had
F G
I’m Thunder On The Highway, Looking Bad, Bad, Bad
C Am
I’m A Knight, Like The Kind In Shining Armor
With My Polished Body Gleaming, I’m A Fighter And A Charger
If Trouble Comes Your Way Just Ask For Me
My Friends All Know Me As THE GEN-E-RAL LEE
Chorus:
F Em
I’m The General Lee, A Piston Pumping, Steel Belted Cavalry
D
Ill Never Let You Down When Your Riding With Me
F G C C/B C/A C/G
Buckle Up And I’ll Show You What I Mean
F Em
Take A Look Back There, Sirens Going, Red Lights Flashing EVE-RY-WHERE
D
We’ll Cross The Field And We’ll Be Running Free
F G Am F G C
They’ll Eat Dust With Complements Of Me The General Lee
I’m A Hero, And That’s How I’ll Make You Feel
When Your Riding Shotgun With Me And The Law Is At Your Heel
I’m Glory Bound, But When The Chase Is Done
I’ll Take Off Through The Mountains And Have Fun, Fun, Fun
I’ve Got Style, Tearing Through The Curves
Let My Flag Wave Proudly To The People That I Serve
I’m Number One And I Will Always Be
The Pride Of The South They Call THE GEN-E-RAL LEE
Chorus
I’ll Jump That Pond And We’ll Be Running Free
And They’ll Go SwI’mming Complements Of Me
The General Lee
The General Lee
The General Lee
