[intro]

          C        D           G         C       C
With your eyes lit up and your dress see-through
          C        D                 G       C   C
With your heart so big it don't know what to do
          C        D               G    C   C
You're my favorite thing, my sweet cavalier
         Am7      Am7            D         D
You have saved my life, I got to leave you here

      G     G           D        D
Oh Virginia, no one can warn you
      Em    Em      C        C
Oh Virginia, I have tried to
         G      G              D          D
When the winter comes, how the cold moves through
       C    D           G        G
Oh Virginia, no one can warn you

Am  D  G  Em7    C  D  G  G
[repeat intro]

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

Oh Virginia, no one can warn you
Oh Virginia, I have tried to
When the winter comes, how the cold moves through
Oh Virginia, no one can warn you

[repeat intro]

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

Oh Virginia, no one can warn you
Oh Virginia, I have tried to
When the winter comes, how the cold moves through
Oh Virginia, no one can warn you
Oh Virginia, no one can warn you

[repeat intro, end on G.]
