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