Virginia Avenue chords by Tom Waits

Chords with lyrics

Well, I'm walking down Virginia Ave - nue,
F minorFm          Bb7Bb7       F minorFm    Bb7Bb7
 Trying to find somebody to tell my troubles to
BbmBbm         Eb7Eb7          BbmBbm   Eb7Eb7
  Harold's club is closing and everybodys going on home
Ab7Ab7         C7C7
What's a poor boy to do??

       F minorFm      Bb7Bb7      F minorFm     Bb7Bb7
I'll just get back into my short, make it back to the fort,
F minorFm         Bb7Bb7       F minorFm     Bb7Bb7
 Sleep off all the crazy lizards inside of my brain
BbmBbm            Eb7Eb7     BbmBbm     Eb7Eb7
  there's got to be some place that's better than this,
   Ab7Ab7               C7C7
this life I'm leading is driving me insane
            F minorFm
and let me tell you im dreaming

guitar solo

             F minorFm       Bb7Bb7
let me tell you that I'm dreaming to the twilight
   F minorFm       Bb7Bb7
this town has got me down
F minorFm         Bb7Bb7         F minorFm      Bb7Bb7
 I've seen all the highlights I've been walking all around
BbmBbm        Eb7Eb7        BbmBbm    Eb7Eb7
  I won't make a fuss, I'll take a Greyhound bus
Ab7Ab7                C7C7
carry me away from here, tell me, what have I got to lose??

     F minorFm     Bb7Bb7      F minorFm  Bb7Bb7
cause I'm walking on down Columbus Ave - nue
F minorFm         Bb7Bb7        F minorFm     Bb7Bb7
  The bars are all closing cause it's quarter to two
BbmBbm     Eb7Eb7       BbmBbm      Eb7Eb7
every town I go to is like a lock without a key
  Ab7Ab7               C7C7
the blues i leave behind is catching up on me
                 F minorFm    Bb7Bb7
let me tell you they're catching up on me
          F minorFm  Bb7Bb7        F minorFm Bb7Bb7
they're catching up on me,  catching up on me
        F minorFm Bb7Bb7        F minorFm
