Exhumation of Virginia Madison Lyrics
by Strung Out
This song is obviously all power chords. I like to play open chords just for fun.
Anything in parentheses is more of a guitar fill rather than a chord change. Where I wrote
(fill) in parentheses there is a quick guitar fill I couldn't figure out.
Intro: C, G, Am, Em, F, C, G
No one knows where
(E F G F) G (fill)
I buried my sweet Virginia Madison
The winter chill falls over me
And keeps me numb inside
Under the moon by the edge of town she'll
G (fill)
Quietly wait for me
I promised it wouldn't be too long
Till I returned to sleep with her
She said she don't wanna live no more
Well I don't mind
No I don't mind
So now I'm waitin' for the crack of dawn
To head on back there
To the place where me and her will always be
Now I got my Sunday best
G (fill)
And I'm headed out that door
Dig my fingers deep in soil just to get to her
All dressed in black and she's so pale
G (fill)
She's waiting there for me
A blanket of soil covers us
To fall asleep for eternity
Solo: C, G, F
And now I close my eyes
Solo: C, G, Dm, F, C, Dm, F, G x2
When I awake with a snap it was all a dream
I got an empty bottle of something under me
I got a really bad headache
My clothes are soaking wet
It's times like this I wish I hadn't slept
Star locked gaze, uneasy hands
Then the dream fades away
And leaves my head
Another riddle ?nother dream
Another fucked up fantasy
Gotta learn to stay away from all this TV
She said she would always wait for me
Well I don't mind
No I don't mind
So now I'm headin' to the place where I
Buried my sweet Virginia Madison
