This song is obviously all power chords. I like to play open chords just for fun.
Anything in parentheses is more of a guitar fill rather than a chord change. Where I wrote
(fill) in parentheses there is a quick guitar fill I couldn?t figure out.
Intro: C, G, Am, Em, F, C, G
C, G, Am, Em, F, G, C
C
No one knows where
(E F G F) G (fill)
I buried my sweet Virginia Madison
F
The winter chill falls over me
Em Dm C Am F Em
And keeps me numb inside
C (E F G F)
Under the moon by the edge of town she?ll
G (fill)
Quietly wait for me
F
I promised it wouldn't be too long
G
Till I returned to sleep with her
C Dm Am C
She said she don't wanna live no more
Em F
Well I don't mind
Em F G
No I don't mind
C Dm Am F
So now I'm waitin' for the crack of dawn
Dm
To head on back there
Em F G
To the place where me and her will always be
C (E F G F)
Now I got my Sunday best
G (fill)
And I'm headed out that door
F Em Dm C Am F Em
Dig my fingers deep in soil just to get to her
C (E F G F)
All dressed in black and she's so pale
G (fill)
She's waiting there for me
F
A blanket of soil covers us
G
To fall asleep for eternity
Solo: C, G, F
G C G F
And now I close my eyes
Solo: C, G, Dm, F, C, Dm, F, G x2
C Dm
When I awake with a snap it was all a dream
F G
I got an empty bottle of something under me
C
I got a really bad headache
Dm
My clothes are soaking wet
F G
It?s times like this I wish I hadn't slept
C Dm
Star locked gaze, uneasy hands
F
Then the dream fades away
G
And leaves my head
C
Another riddle ?nother dream
Dm
Another fucked up fantasy
F G
Gotta learn to stay away from all this TV
C Dm Am C
She said she would always wait for me
Em F
Well I don't mind
Em F G
No I don't mind
C Dm Am F
So now I'm headin' to the place where I
F G Am Dm C
Buried my sweet Virginia Madison
