[Intro] C/G   F/C   C/G

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

[Refrão]

     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  F/C   C/G     C/G  F/C   C/G )

           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

[Final]

     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
