G       C/G  G   C/G      G     C/G                G
Woke up this morning, the breeze blowin' 'cross my face,
G          C/G         G    C/G     G     C/G          G
And I just had to look up above and thank somebody for this place,
           Am7                        D7
Because He must've been thinkin' 'bout me
        Am7                     D7
When He planted that very first dogwood tree,
Am7                  D7
It's where I want to be,
              G     C/G      G
Livin' in the Sweet Virginia Breeze.

Verse:
G       C/G        G    C/G     G           C/G      G
Take me out to the country, it feels mighty good out there,
G          C/G         G           C/G
When I get back to the city of the monuments,
G          C/G    G
It doesn't matter where
    Am7                     D7
I hang my hat, it's home to me,
  Am7                                   D7
The Blue Ridge Mountains tend to set me free,
Am7                  D7
It's where I want to be,
              G     C/G      G       G     C  D  C  G
Livin' in the Sweet Virginia Breeze. Sweet Virginia Breeze.

Bridge:
Em                 Am7
Wakes me up in the mornin',
E7sus4      B7       Em
Rocks me to sleep at night,
Em                                Am7
I've got a red bird singin' on my window sill,
  A7                      D7
I know everything will be all right,
              G     C/G      G       G     C  D  C  G
Livin' in the Sweet Virginia Breeze. Sweet Virginia Breeze.

Verse:
G            C/G    G
Just sittin' on my back porch,
C/G      G            C/G      G
I'm just watchin' the sun come up,
G      C/G      G           C/G     G                 C/G    G
Sweet sweet Virginia Breeze blowin' ripples 'cross my coffee cup,
           Am7                        D7
Because He must've been thinkin' 'bout me
        Am7                     D7
When He planted that very first dogwood tree,
       Em                     Am7
'Cause when that breeze comes blowin' through the trees,
   A7                       D7
You know everything will be all right,
              G     C/G      G       G     C  D  C  G
Livin' in the Sweet Virginia Breeze. Sweet Virginia Breeze.
              G     C/G      G       G     C  D  C  G
Livin' in the Sweet Virginia Breeze. Sweet Virginia Breeze.
