[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.

[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.

left my wife and my kids and land...on the story goes.
