INTRO:
G    D   G   C    G
(Then Harp Break Verse)

C                  A7           G
Wadin' through the waste stormy winter, 
C                 A7                 G
And there's not a friend to help you through. 
   C               A7                    G     C
Tryin' to stop the waves behind your eyeballs, 
G               D                    G
Drop your reds, drop your greens and blues. 

C                  A7        G
Thank you for your wine, California, 
C                  A7               G
Thank you for your sweet and bitter fruits. 
  C            A7             G       C   
Yes I got the desert in my toenail 
G             D               G
And I hid the speed inside my shoe. 

    C                A7             G
But 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 ya. Uh-huh
G                 D                  G
Got to scrape the shit right off you shoes. 

BREAK ON VERSE (SAX Solo)

I want you to come on, come on down Sweet Virginia, 
I want you come on, honey child, I beg of you
I want you come on, come on down, you got it in you. 
Got to scrape that shit right off you shoes. 

But come on, come on down Sweet Virginia, 
Come on, come on down, I beg of you. 
Come on, come on down, you got it in you. 
Got to scrape that shit right off you shoes.
