[verse]:
D G Asus2 Bbdim
Way back in '75, packed my bags never making a plan,
Bm Bm/A Bm/G# G A D
left my wife and my kids and land, so the story goes.
D G Asus2 Bbdim
I travelled a billion miles, ran away from the mess that I caused,
D G Asus2 D
Forget the family that I had lost, so the story goes.
[chorus]:
Cadd9 G/B Gm/Bb D/A
Oh, sweet Virginia, I can almost see you calling for me,
Cadd9 G/B Gm/Bb D/A
Oh dear Virginia, I can almost feel you comforting this-
Am7 E7/G# Gm7 D/F#
Lonely old soul, who's lost and alone,
G D G Asus2 D
Virginia, I was wrong, Virginia bring me home.
[verse]:
D G Asus2 Bbdim
I numb myself to sleep, drink away all the damage I've done,
Bm Bm/A Bm/G# G Asus2 D
finally found nowhere else to run, so the story goes.
[chorus]:
Cadd9 G/B Gm/Bb D/A
Oh Sweet Virgina, in my mind I make my way
Cadd9 G/B Gm/Bb D/A
back to my hometown Virginia, where the running rivers wash away
Am7 E7/G# Gm7 D/F#
my sins and my pain, to start life again...
G D G Asus2 D
Virginia I was wrong, Virginia bring me home.
[solo over verse]
[chorus]:
Cadd9 G/B Gm/Bb D/A
Now, sweet Virginia, I can almost see you calling for me,
Cadd9 G/B Gm/Bb D/A
Oh dear Virginia, I can almost feel you comforting this-
Am7 E7/G# Gm7 D/F#
Lonely old soul, who's lost and alone,
G D G Asus2 D
Virginia, i was wrong, Virginia bring me home.
[outro]:
D G Asus2 Bbdim
Way back in '75, packed my bags never making a plan,
Bm Bm/A Bm/G# G Asus2 D Dsus4 D
left my wife and my kids and land...on the story goes.
