Virginia Through The Rain chords by Counting Crows

• Difficulty: Beginner

Verse 1:
C                      G
You can hear the hotel humming
    Em                                   Am
She grabs her shoes and heads out in the rain
D                     G                       G7          C
Another chorus of the times you could and you could not refrain
C                         G
The sun undresses the horizon
D                     Am
You grab your phone and text the lie
     Bm                    E                C
That you’re where you’re supposed to be this time


Chorus:
Em
You watch the lightning flash
Am
Across the windowpane
            Bm             C                   G
But you can barely see the morning through the rain

Verse 2:
C                       G
I carry distance like a burden
     Em               Am
My encumbrance and my strain
D                      G               G7            C
Forty years across the sands of your devotion and my shame
C                              G
So I’ll blow a kiss across thе garden
D                       Am
Gethsemanе, it seems to me
   Bm             E                 C
Virginia’s just a brick to ease the pain


Chorus:
Em
I’m hardly able
            Am
To sort the sugar from the cane
          Bm             C                   G
Cuz I can barely see the morning through the rain
Em              Am
All my memories fit into a frame
          Bm             C                   G
But I can barely see the morning through the rain


Bridge:
Am                        C
The deluge urges me ohhh, and the flood submerges me, ahhh
G
In her scent that lingers
        D
End her flavor on my fingers
Am
For every ark you fill
C                                D
There’s a hole you never will, inside


Verse 3:
C                    G
So won’t you call me Moses
Em                   Am
Oh won’t you call my name
D                     G                       G7           C
Call me home, call me through the dark when I have lost my way
N.C.                  G
G-G-G-Ginny, please receive me
D                       Am
Oh trust me even when I lie
  Bm              E               C
Believe me when I say I’ll try to change


Chorus:
Em
These clouds could wash me clean
       Am
All my sin and all my shame
          Bm            C                 G
But I can barely see Virginia through the rain
Em
All the world it runs in circles
        Am
Between heaven and the drain
          Bm            C                 G
But I can barely see Virginia through the rain


Outro:
      Bm            C                 G
I can barely see Virginia through the rain
      Bm            C                 G
I can barely see Virginia through the rain
