EAAsus4A She moves trough the crowd like a swan EAE Laughing with one, kiss another, then she's gone A But backstage at the ballet it's a bore EA I cannot give the ladies anymore
Chorus: DA Oh Virginia, I miss the blue ridge mountains DA Oh Virginia, I miss the Shenandoah valley DA Oh Virginia, I miss your change of seasons EA And I miss some good ol' friends who are livin' back home
Sshe stand polite while I am gloriously rude Just the other night I had my elbows in my food She say that I must sparkle more But backstage at the ballet it’s a bore
Chorus + solo
Her skin's so white and her forehead so high I could not kiss my ballerina goodbye I pinned a note upon her door Said backstage at the ballet it's a bore
