East Virginia Blues Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
I was born in East Vir[F]ginia
[G]To Carolina, I did roa[C]m
There I met a little [F]woman
Her [G]age and name I did not know
Her age and name I did not [C]know

[Verse 2]
[C]
Her hair was of a dark brown [F]color
[G]And her cheeks were rosy red[C]
On her breast she wore white [F]linen
[G]Oh, the tears that I have shed
Oh, the tears that I have [C]shed

[Verse 3]
[C]
I'd rather be in some dark [F]hollow
[G]Where the sun don't ever shi[C]ne
Than, to be another's [F]darling
And [G]know, she never will be mine
And know, she never will [C]be mine

[Verse 4]
[C]
I was known as Blackie's [F]gunman
The [G]best gunman in [C]the land
I could shoot the ace of [F]diamonds
[G]With a drop from either hand
With a drop from either [C]hand

[Verse 5]
[C]With the dice I have no [F]equal
[G]Some of them are with us now[C]
Most of them are sadly [F]sleeping
Be[G]neath the weeping willow bough
Beneath the weeping willow [C]bough

[Outro 1]
[C]
