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
