SWEET VIRGINIA
The Rolling Stones

from the album EXILE ON MAIN STREET

Capo II 

Playing note:  To get the feel of this song, almost every chord change
has a walk-up or step down note leading into it … play with it a
little, listen to the record to get the nuances. (Lead into the
opening G chord with an arrpegiated D run.)

Verse I
C                      A7                 G
Wading through the waste        stormy winter
C                      A7                 G
and there's   not a friend  to help you through
C                      A7                  G        C
Trying to stop the waves  behind your eye-balls     
G                     D                       G   C	G
Drop your reds       drop your greens  an blues


Second verse (same chords as first verse )
Thank you for your wine            California
thank you   for your sweet   and bitter fruits
Yes   I  got  the   desert   in   my     toe-nail   
And I hid the speed insdie       my       shoes

Chorus:
C                     A7                 G
Come on,  come on down,   Sweet    Virginia
C                     A7                 G
Come on,  honey  Child     I beg of    you 
C                     A7                 G        C
Come on,  come on down,     you got it in you
G                         D            G        C	G
Got to scrape that shit   right off your shoes
