CDEm Come out Virginia, don't let me wait CDG You Catholic girls start much too late CDEm But sooner or later it comes down to fate CD I might as well be the one

DCG You got a nice white dress and a party on your confirmation AC You got a brand new soul, And a cross of gold DCG But Virginia they didn't give you quite enough information AC You didn't count on me when you were counting on your rosary DCG/B oh woah woah
[Verse]
CDEm They say there's a heaven for those who will wait CDG Some say it's better but I say it ain't CDEm I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints CD the Sinners are much more fun

Once you figure out the strumming, it sounds spot on. I like to hit the chord then mute, them upstrum it. i think that sounds the most like Billy.
