Playing knights of the golden horse shoe and Indian raids

Now it's parachutes and combat boots and camouflaged airplanes

In a market square where the bells were ringing loud to fill the air

Levi gazed his eyes out to the rocket glare
G D C Am
Beyond the desert and the ocean, to the farthest fields of home

And when the bullets pierced his body he was already gone

Levi, lord, lord, lord the shot him down
C Am D G
10,000 miles from a southern town
C Am D G
Oh Levi
