Joan Baez - East Virginia Chords

[verse 1]
Bm                E       Bm
 I was born in East Virginia,
          Em         Bm
North Carolina I did roam.
        B  B7             E
There I met a fair pretty maiden;
             Bm F#7        Bm
Her name and age I do not know.

[verse 2]
Bm                      E          Bm
 Her hair it was of a brightsome color
        Em           Bm
And her lips of ruby red.
       B  B7                 E
On her breast she wore white lilies;
        Bm     F#7        Bm
There I longed to lay my head.

[verse 3]
Bm                        E      Bm
 Well, in my heart you are my darlin',
      Em                   Bm
At my door you are welcome in.
      B  B7                  E
At my gate I'll meet you, my darlin';
        Bm  F#7            Bm
If your love I could only win.

[verse 4]
Bm                  E         Bm
 I'd rather be in some dark holler
          Em             Bm
Where the sun refused to shine
        B  B7                    E
Than to see you be another man's darlin
       Bm  F#7                    Bm
And to know that you'll never be mine.

[verse 5]
Bm                         E              Bm
 Well, in the night I'm dreaming about you,
       Em            Bm
In the day I find no rest.
         B    B7            E
Just the thought of you, my darlin',
             Bm   F#7              Bm
Sends aching pains all through my breast.

[verse 6]
Bm                          E     Bm
 Well, when I'm dead and in my coffin
        Em                     Bm
With my feet turned toward the sun
         B  B7           E
Come and sit  beside me, darlin',
         Bm   F#7              Bm
Come and think on the way you done.

B ≠ 30.8 Hz
