          C         D           G         C 
With your eyes made up and your dress see thru 
          C        D                 G       C 
With your heart so big it don?t know what to do 
          C        D              G      C 
You?re my favorite thing my sweet cavelier 
         Am                      D  
You have saved my life, I got to leave you here 

      G                 D 
Oh Virginia, no one can warn you 
      Em            C 
Oh Virginia, I have tried to 
         G                     D 
When the winter comes, how the cold moves thru 
      C      D          G 
Oh Virginia, no one can warn you 
 
I can not explain how you should begin 
I can?t give you word, it won?t all cave in 
There?s no good way home, there?s no place to rest 
There?s no room down here for a pretty mess 
 
Chorus 
 
You don?t know it yet with your brand new kiss 
You don?t want to stay here and live like this 
The worst I could do, oh, what would I be 
If I kept for mine something better than me 
 
Chorus
