I Was Born In East Virginia chords by The Monkees

Guitar chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
C                          C7
I was born in East Virginia
      F               C
North Carolina, I did roam
        F                G G# Am
There I met a fair young maiden
             Dm  G         C
Her name and age, I do not know


Verse 2:
C                                    C7
Her hair it was of a light brown color
            F           C
Cheeks they were a ruby red
       F                     G G# Am
On her breast she wore white lillies
        Dm    G          C
There I longed to lay my head

Verse 3:
C                                C7
I'd rather be in some dark hollow
          F             C
Where the sun refuse to shine
        F            G G7 Am
Than to see her with another
       Dm  G               C
And to know you'd never be mine

Verse 4:
C                          C7
I was born in East Virginia
      F               C
North Carolina, I did roam
        F                G G# Am
There I met a fair young maiden
             Dm  G         C
Her name and age, I do not know
             Dm  G         C
Her name and age, I do not know
