[Intro] C/G F7M/C C/G
C/G Slept high up in the Rockies
F7M/C G/D C/G F7M/C C/G Set my clock for californ-i-ey-aye
Em And I dreamed up somethin' special
F7M/C G/D C/G F7M/C C/G To give that ocean man, she cuffs me anyway
C/G So I’m banking on Virginia
F7M/C G/D C/G F7M/C C/G To keep me calm and clear and straight
Em Just like clock work seems to tell us
F7M/C G/D C/G F7M/C C/G With every passing storm there’s just a harder hail [Chorus]
F7M/C C/G F7M/C Am So I light my way, Virginia May
Continues after the ad
C/G G I can’t sit still, just pace across this hallway
F7M/C C/G We spent all this time
F7M/C Am Just trading crimes
G While the tune-smith packed a lunch
F7M/C C/G F7M/C C/G He’s headed down the coastline
( C/G F7M/C C/G )
( C/G F7M/C C/G )
C/G There’s a loneliness thats blowin'
F7M/C G/D C/G F7M/C C/G Well I heard it from the radio man
Em He’s been locked up in the belfry
F7M/C G/D C/G F7M/C C/G Listening close to a string upon a can
C/G Me, I’m sailin on to that savior
F7M/C G/D C/G F7M/C C/G She’s a pilgrim living on the modern time
Em And ever since I found her magic
F7M/C G/D C/G F7M/C C/G Now every car or cloud that passes is a sign
F7M/C C/G F7M/C Am So I light my way, Virginia May
C/G G I can’t sit still, just pace across this hallway
F7M/C C/G We spent all this time
F7M/C Am Just trading crimes
G F7M/C C/G And I’m saving all my sleep for another life
G F7M/C C/G And I’m saving all my sleep for another life
G F7M/C C/G I’m saving all my sleep for another life
