East Virginia

Am                D       Am
    I was born in East Virginia,
          Dm         Am
North Carolina I did roam.
        A  A7             D
There I met a fair pretty maiden;
             Am E7        Am 
Her name and age I do not 
Asus2 Am  Asus2
know.


[Verse 2]

Am                      D         
   Her hair it was of a brightsome
 Am
 color
        Dm           Am
And her lips of ruby red.
       A  A7                 D
On her breast she wore white lilies;
        Am     E7        Am Asus2
There I longed to lay my head.
 Am  Asus2

Am                        D      
    Well, in my heart you are my 
Am
darlin',
      Dm                   Am
At my door you are welcome in.
      A  A7                
At my gate I'll meet you, my 
  D
darlin';
        Am  E7            Am 
If your love I could only 
Asus2 Am  Asus2
win.


[Verse 4]

Am                  D         Am
   I'd rather be in some dark holler
          Dm             Am
Where the sun refused to shine
        A  A7                    
Than to see you be another man's 
D
darlin
       Am  E7                    
And to know that you'll never be 
Am Asus2 Am  Asus2
mine.


[Verse 5]

Am                         D     
    Well, in the night I'm 
         Am
dreaming about you,
       Dm            Am
In the day I find no rest.
         A    A7            D
Just the thought of you, my darlin',
             Am   E7              
Sends aching pains all through my 
Am Asus2 Am  Asus2
breast.


[Verse 6]

Am                          D     
    Well, when I'm dead and in my 
Am
coffin
        Dm                     Am
With my feet turned toward the sun
         A  A7           D
Come and sit  beside me, darlin',
         Am   E7              Am  
Come and think on the way you 
Asus2 Am  Asus2 Am Asus2 Am
done.
