This is the mandolin lick plus chords for Dixieland off of the Mountain. I figured out this lick about a year ago at Guildtown Bluegrass festival, and saw it was requested so i tabbed it out. The lick is very simplified and i know there is a lot more going on but if anyone wants ill do it for banjo too. Or guitar if no-one owns a banjo or mandolin. If the actual structure of the tab looks crap then just copy it into Word as Courier New and it should re-align.

D G I am Kilrain and I'm a fightin' man and I come from County Clare D Bm And the Brits would hang me for a Fenian so I took me leave of there D G And I crossed the ocean in the "Arrianne", the vilest tub afloat D Bm And the captain's brother was a railroad man and he met us at the boat A G A So I joined up with the 20th Maine like I said my friend I'm a fighting man D Em F#m G And we're marchin' south in the pouring rain A D We're all goin' down to Dixieland D G I am Kilrain of the 20th Maine and we fight for Chamberlain D Bm 'Cause he stood right with us when the Johnnies came like a banshee on the wind D G In the smoke smeared hell of Gettysburg many a mother wept D Bm For many a good boy died there, sure, and the air smelt just like death A G A I am the Kilrain of the 20th Maine and I marched to hell and back again D Em F#m G A D For Colonel Joshua Chamberlain - we're all goin' down to Dixieland D G I am the Kilrain of the 20th Maine and I damn all gentlemen D Bm Whose only worth is their father's name and the sweat of a workin' man D D G Well we come from the farms and the city streets and a hundred foreign lands D And we spilled our blood in the battle's heat Bm Now we're all Americans A G A I am the Kilrain of the 20th Maine did I tell you friend I'm a fightin' man D Em F#m G A D And I'll not be back this way again, 'cause we're all goin' down to Dixieland Steve Earle is a genius in all of his works. I love the guy and if anyone needs anymore tabs just leave a comment and i'll see what i can do.
