Virginia May - Gregory Alan Isakov
Intro: C F G
Verse:
[C]slept high up in the Rockies
set my cl[F]ock for calif[G]orn-i-ey-a[C]ye[F][C]
and i dr[Em]eamed up somethin special to give that o[F]cean
man, she cuf[G]fs me anyway[C][F][C]
so i?m banking on virginia
to keep me calm and clear and straight
just like clock work seems to tell us
with every passing storm there?s just a harder hail
Chorus:
so l[Am]ight[C/B] my w[C]ay, Vi[Am]rgin[C/B]ia Ma[C]y
i can[C]?t sit still, just pace across this h[G]allway
we spent a[Am]ll t[C/B]his ti[C]me
just tra[Am]ding[C/B] crim[C]es,
while the tu[G]ne-smith packed a lunch,
he?s heade[F]d down the coastli[C]ne[F][C]
[C] [F] [G] [C] [F] [C]
there?s a loneliness thats blowin
well i heard it from the radio man
he?s been locked up in the belfry
listening close, to a string upon a can
me, i?m sailin on to that savior,
she?s a pilgrim living on the modern time
and ever since i found her magic
now every car or cloud that passes is a sign
light my way, Virginia May
i can?t sit still just pace across this hallway
we spent all this time
just trading crimes
and i?m saving all my sleep for another life
i?m saving all my sleep for another life.
