Virginia May - Gregory Alan Isakov
[Intro]
C F G
[Verse 1]
C
Slept high up in the Rockies
F G C F C
set my clock for californ-i-ey-aye.
Em
And I dreamed up somethin' special
F G C F C
to give that ocean man, she cuffs me anyway.
C
So I’m banking on Virginia
F G C F C
to keep me calm and clear and straight.
Em
Just like clock work seems to tell us
F G C F C
with every passing storm there’s just a harder hail.
[Chorus]
F C F Am
So I light my way, Virginia May
C G
I can’t sit still, just pace across this hallway.
F C
We spent all this time
F Am
just trading crimes,
G
while the tune-smith packed a lunch,
F C F C
he’s headed down the coastline.
C F G C F C
[Verse 2]
C
There’s a loneliness thats blowin'
F G C F C
well I heard it from the radio man.
Em
He’s been locked up in the belfry
F G C F C
listening close to a string upon a can.
C
Me, I’m sailin on to that savior,
F G C F C
she’s a pilgrim living on the modern time.
Em
And ever since I found her magic
F G C F C
now every car or cloud that passes is a sign.
[Chorus]
F C F Am
So I light my way, Virginia May
C G
I can’t sit still, just pace across this hallway.
F C
We spent all this time
F Am
just trading crimes,
[Outro]
G F C
and I’m saving all my sleep for another life
G F C
and I’m saving all my sleep for another life
G F C
I’m saving all my sleep for another life
