Virginian Chords by Neko Case

_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ [B] When I was young I knew a girl who wouldn't love God as a test
Or gamble with her happiness and [F#] so led astray
[F#] _
So she did turn, her father would say, [E] you're only a guest to the master
But [G#] passion was her Sunday best and [F#] she fell away _
[B] She fell away, she fell away, [E] she fell _ [B] away
[G#m] When she was free to do what she wanted with [E] plans of her [B] own
When [G#m] _ _ [F#] _ _ [E] _ _ [B] _

[B] Picked herself up and said to her, please [E] don't waste any [B] more of your time
[E] Just end it all, [B] stand it in line and they'll turn you [F#] away
She [B] fell away, she fell away, she [E] fell on the [B] side of the Lord
For [G#m] if she was free to [F#] do what she wanted with [E] plans of her own

[F] She'd taken on [C] too many shapes and too [G] many words to say
And [C] as they lay to the ground [F] her spirits they all [C] lay
[F] The sun shone so bright [C] on her you thought [G] it was day
She [C] fell away, she fell away, she [F] fell on the [C] side of the Lord
When [Am] she was free to [G] do what she wanted with plans of [F] her own _ _
