Pete Seeger – East Virginia (Guitar)

Em                                  D
   I was born and raised in east Virginia,

          A7   G     Em
North Carolina I did go.

                                   D
And there I met some pretty little woman

             A7    G      Em
Her name and age I do not know.

Em                                       D
   Well her hair it was of a light brown color

        A7          G    Em
And her cheeks were ruby red.

                                 D
And on her breast she wore white lilies,

        A7      G      Em
Where I long to lay my head

Em                                 D
   Well I'd rather be in some dark holler

          A7        G     Em
Where the sun would never shine

                     D
Than to see you with another,

       A7         G        Em
And to know you'd never be mine.

Em                                    D
   Well I was born and raised in east Virginia,

          A7   G   Em
North Carolina I did go.

                                   D
And there I met some pretty little woman

        A7     G       Em
And her name I did not know.
