Roxy Music Virginia Plain Lyrics

Intro: F#5 C#5 F#5 C#5 (only keyboards and lead guitar)
Verse 1: (rythm guitar enters)
Make me a deal and make it straight
All signed and sealed, I'll take it
To Robert E. Lee I'll show it
I hope and pray he don't blow it 'cause
We've been around a long time
G#5 (once) C#5 (once)
Just try to try, just try to make the big time
Verse 2:
Take me on a roller coaster
Take me for an airplane ride
Take me for a six-day wonder but don't you
Don't you throw my pride aside besides
What's real and make believe
Baby Jane's in Acapulco, we are flyin' down to Rio
Solo: F#5 C#5 F#5 C#5 B5 G#5 C#5
Verse 3:
Throw me a line I'm sinking fast
Clutching at straws can't make it
Havana sound we're trying
A hard edge a hipster jiving oh
Last picture shows down the drive-in
You're so sheer, you're so chic
Teenage rebel of the week
Verse 4:
Flavours of the mountain streamline
Midnight blue casino floors
Dance the cha-cha through till sunrise
Opens up exclusive doors oh wow!
Just like flamingos look the same
So me and you, just we two, got to search for something new
C#5 C#5 C#5 (play once each chords)
F#5 C#5 x6 (play once each chords)
Verse 5:
Far beyond the pale horizon
Some place near the desert strand
Where my Studebaker takes me
That's where I'll make my stand but wait
Can't you see that Holzer mane?
What's her name? Virginia Plain
