Leave Virginia Alone chords by Tom Petty

• Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

INTRO:
G       C (2x)


VERSE:
          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

              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

   C              G
So 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

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

        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

   C              G
So 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

     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
