East Virginia by Joan Baez
East Virginia
Capo:2nd fret
[Verse 1]
Am D Am
I was born in East Virginia,
Dm Am
North Carolina I did roam.
A A7 D
There I met a fair pretty maiden;
Am E7 Am Asus2 Am Asus2
Her name and age I do not know.
[Verse 2]
Am D Am
Her hair it was of a brightsome color
Dm Am
And her lips of ruby red.
A A7 D
On her breast she wore white lilies;
Am E7 Am Asus2 Am Asus2
There I longed to lay my head.
[Verse 3]
Am D Am
Well, in my heart you are my darlin',
Dm Am
At my door you are welcome in.
A A7 D
At my gate I'll meet you, my darlin';
Am E7 Am Asus2 Am Asus2
If your love I could only win.
[Verse 4]
Am D Am
I'd rather be in some dark holler
Dm Am
Where the sun refused to shine
A A7 D
Than to see you be another man's darlin
Am E7 Am Asus2 Am Asus2
And to know that you'll never be mine.
[Verse 5]
Am D Am
Well, in the night I'm dreaming about you,
Dm Am
In the day I find no rest.
A A7 D
Just the thought of you, my darlin',
Am E7 Am Asus2 Am Asus2
Sends aching pains all through my breast.
[Verse 6]
Am D Am
Well, when I'm dead and in my coffin
Dm Am
With my feet turned toward the sun
A A7 D
Come and sit beside me, darlin',
Am E7 Am Asus2 Am Asus2 Am Asus2 Am
Come and think on the way you done.
