 I left a line of blue haired ministers
                             F C
Deciding where she should go
                                           F C
Along side past us this big wide limousine
         C/B            Am
And the holy sink they blow

♫ Verse 2:

C                                       F C
 Minds are made up a week from Saturday
                              F C
To them the doors are closed
                                                F C
But poor old Virginia’s please are never heard
                 C/B        Am
By then, she’s a travelled soul.

Oh, how she pra--yed! How she pra--yed!
F     C        Am
 Not like the sailor beside her
F     C        Am
 Not like the waves in the water
F     C       Am                       Am
 Not like the ways that he taught her.
          C      C  C
How she prayed
F            C
Oh, how she prayed.

 Virginia found herself a place in Tennessee
                                  F C
It wasn’t much but called it home
                                           F C
Her mama said “Go find yourself a Kennedy.
             C/B            Am
You’ll never go it on your own.

 But here is something I never shared with you
F C
Broken vows and broken homes
                              F C
Mom never really cared for you
          C/B            Am  Am
Tried to tell you all along.

Oh, how she pra--yed! How she pra--yed!
F     C        Am
 Not like the sailor beside her
F     C         Am
 Not like the waves in the water
F     C       Am                       Am
 Not like the ways that he taught her.

Oh, how she pra--yed! How she pra--yed!
F     C        Am
 Not like the sailor beside her

 Not like the waves in the water
F     C       Am                       Am
 Not like the ways that he taught her.
