Chords

[Intro] G G/D C G G/D C [Verse 1]
           G          Fmaj7    C
Well, they chased her down the alley

Am           D    Am           D
And over the hill to steal her will

G              Fmaj7    C
She was hot as Georgia asphalt

Am                 D    Am           D
When the “A” crowd came to adore her brain
[Chorus]
   C              G
So leave Virginia alone

C              G
Leave Virginia alone

     Em        Am      D
She’s not like you and me

               Em      D
She’s not like you and me
[Verse 2]
              G        Fmaj7       C
You should’ve seen her back in the city

Am         D       Am            D
Poetry and jewels, broke all the rules

           G         Fmaj7   C
She was as high as a Georgia pine tree

Am         D      Am      D
Makeup and pills, overdue bills
[Chorus]
   C        G/D    G
So leave Virginia alone

C        G/D    G
Leave Virginia alone

     Em        Am      D
She’s not like you and me

               Em      A
She’s not like you and me
[Bridge]
C    D     G            D        Em
Some sunny day when the hands of time

D              C
Have had their way

C      D    G            D      Em
You’ll understand why it was so hard

D      C      D
To run away
[Verse 3]
        G      Fmaj7   C
She’s a loser, she’s a forgiver

Am                  D    Am           D
And she still finds good where no one could

G                     Fmaj7     C
You ought to want her more than money

Am            D     Am           D
Cadillacs and rust, diamonds and dust
[Chorus]
   C        G/D    G
So leave Virginia alone

C        G/D    G
Leave Virginia alone

     Em        Am      D
She’s not like you and me

               Em      A
She’s not like you and me

      C              G
Yeah, leave Virginia alone

C              G
Leave Virginia alone

     Em        Am      D
She’s not like you and me

               Em      A
She’s not like you and me
