Virginia Lyrics
Chords:
dd2
|B--3----===3-------3----0---3----------1----------1---|
She plays D5/A three different ways in this song:
1)Straight; as noted above
2) Hammer-on the A note on the G string like this:
|G--0h2--|
3) Hammering on like above but then dropping the D note on the B string to a C and then returning to the
full chord:
This does not account for rhythm. It's pretty simple to hear though.
|G--0h2-2--2--2|
Verse I
I know these streets like the palms of my hands
cracking when the weather changed the best laid plans
ooooooh Virginia
the wind and the rain, the sleet and the snow
I've been ready a long time ago
ooooooh Virginia, oh Virginia, Virginia, I gotta go
Virginia
D5/A Csus2/D G/D x2 **This is where it does the 3rd version of D5/A**
did the blood on the tracks get in to the land
can you ever leave ever wash your hands
ooooooh Virginia
up and down the Chesapeake coast
trying to rememberer who you love the most
oh but it wasn't you was it
oh Virginia
meet at the bottom
I don't wanna go it alone
Oh Virginia
meet me in the middle
I'm about halfway home
Oh Virginia it's the end of the road
s2/
Oh Virginia I gotta go
Verse II
take me to the cemetery where you keep
the memories of the ones who leave
ooooooh Virginia
will they make a landmark of your heart
and how you really loved her but it fell apart
Oooooooooooh where do I even start
Oh Virginia, it's getting dark
did the blood on the tracks get in to the plan
can you ever leave ever wash your hands
ooooooh Virginia
And all around the Chesapeake bay
who do you think that you are anyway
oh but it wasn't you
oh Virginia
meet at the bottom
I don't wanna go it alone
Oh Virginia
meet me in the middle
I'm about halfway home
Oh Virginia it's the end of the road
Oh Virginia I gotta go
Harmonica Break (Chorus Chords)
D5/A Csus4add2 Cadd2 Em7 x2
oh Virginia
meet at the bottom
I don't wanna go it alone
Oh Virginia
meet me in the middle
I'm about halfway home
Oh Virginia it's the end of the road
Oh Virginia
