Gene Clark – The Virgin (Guitar)

B                   C#m
She went off to the city

   E                         B
To find what she was looking for

B               C#m
To identify, to really try

    E                  B
To  find herself  some hope

B                       C#m
With the summer sun for laughing

                        E
And the winter rain did pour

        B             C#m
She was lovelier from learning

         E              B
And from living, loving more

B                         C#m
From her dancing love and young soul

        E              B
And the gypsies in her dream

       B                    C#m
To the pulse of stark acceptance

         E               B
When the winds began to freeze

                        C#m
With no curfews left to hold her

      C#m                  E
And no walls to shield her pain

        B                   C#m
Finding out that facts were older

         E               B
And that life forms are insane.

B               C#m
The presence of protection seemed

   E                B
To fade, as did her doubt

                    C#m
That she now was no exception

            E                   B
Nor was the love who pushed her out

       C#m
Go, homesick

         C#m                    E
Virtues strength of mind would ring

       B           C#m
In the maladies of meaning

        E                    B
The sad song she learned to sing.

B                     C#m
Now, her teachers and philosophers

        E              B
And the poet's silver throat

                         C#m              E              B
Are the vessels which on wisdom's karmic  ocean she will float.

                 C#m
Was this her revolution,

                       E
Just a child in love's crusade,

         B                     C#m
With the question in her innocence

            E                 B
Through the lies her eyes betrayed?
