By: Larry Sparks
Genre: Bluegrass
[Intro]
B E
[Verse 1]
E
Have you ever been to Richmond in November
G# A
When the cold Virginia rain is coming down
E
Friends I'm here to tell you it's no pleasure
F# B
If you're all alone and a stranger to this town
[Verse 2]
E
Don't take me wrong I do like East Virginia
G# A
And Richmond's full of hospitality
E
Except for one Virginia girl I know of
B E
That made a perfect love wreck out of me
[Chorus]
A B E
Blue blue Virginia blues
A E B
There ain’t no blue like blue Virginia blues
A B
There ain’t no other girls in the whole wide world
E A
Will break your heart like Virginia girls
E A B E
There's ain’t no blue like blue Virginia blues
[Verse 3]
E
She called me up in St Paul Minnesota
G# A
Said I need you here in Richmond right away
E
Take the bus and I'll meet you at the station
F# B
Bring some clothes I might want you to stay
[Verse 4]
E
My bus pulled in the station late this evening
G# A
There ain’t a soul around this place but me
E
She must have changed her mind or she's forgotten
B E
And her name ain’t in the phone directory
[Chorus]
A B E
Blue blue Virginia blues
A E B
There ain’t no blue like blue Virginia blues
A B
There ain’t no other girls in the whole wide world
E A
Will break your heart like Virginia girls
E A B E
There's ain’t no blue like blue Virginia blues
[Verse 5]
E
I wish I had the money for a taxi
G# A
And a warm and cozy place to lay me down
E
Instead of standing all alone in Richmond
B E
While the cold Virginia rain is coming down
[Chorus]
A B E
Blue blue Virginia blues
A E B
There ain’t no blue like blue Virginia blues
A B
There ain’t no other girls in the whole wide world
E A
Will break your heart like Virginia girls
E A B E
There's ain’t no blue like blue Virginia blues
A E A B E
Oh there's ain’t no blue like blue Virginia blues
[The End]
