[Eb]
[Bb] [Ab] [Eb] I heard the sound of a red bird singing
The call of a [Bb] whipperwill
[Ab] As the sun [Eb] poured over the eastern ridges
[Fm] And blown [Eb] the morning [Bb] hill
[Eb] I heard the sound of an old blue hound
As it waked [Bb] into the [Ab] day
It shook off [Eb] all of his hound dog [Fm] dreams
And wandered on [Ab] his way
[Bb] [Eb] Screamed loud, oh Virginia
[Ab] And a [Bb] blue ridge [Eb] memory
[Ab] That fills my [Eb] mind with another [Fm] time
And [Eb] brings her [Ab] back to [Bb] me
[Eb] Think about [Bb] old Virginia
[Ab] And [Bb] a blue ridge [Eb] memory
[Ab] That fills my [Eb] mind with another [Ab] time
[Bb] And brings her [Eb] back to [Bbm] me
She [Ab] [Eb] [Bb] [Eb] loved the sound of the banjo's ring
She loved the [Bb] bluegrass tune
[Ab] As I [Eb] recall she knew them [Ab] all
Beneath the mountain [Bb] moon
[Eb] She loved the soft and the easy wind
As it whispered [Bb] in the hill
[Ab] And I'd like to [Eb] think that if I were [Fm] there
She'd maybe love me still
[Bb] [Eb] Think about old [Bb] Virginia
[Eb] [Ab] And a [Bb] blue ridge [Eb] memory
[Ab] That fills my [Eb] mind with another time
And brings her [Ab] back to [Bb] me
[Eb] Think about old Virginia
[Ab] And a [Bb] blue ridge [Eb] memory
[Ab] That fills my [Eb] mind with another [Ab] time
And [Bb] brings her [Eb] back to me
The [Bb] [Eb] times that come and the times they go
[Cm] You win, [Bb] sometimes you [Ab] lose
But I love [Eb] the living in every [Fm] breath
And I love to [Ab] sing the [Bb] blues
[Eb] When I hear a redbird sing
My heart jumps in a [Bb] whirl
[Ab] It reminds me [Eb] of the time once [Fm] spent
With a piney [Ab] river girl
[Bb] [Eb] Think about old Virginia
[Cm] And a [Bb] blue ridge [Eb] memory
[Ab] That fills my [Eb] mind with another time
And brings her [Ab] back to [Bb] me
[Eb] Think about old Virginia
[Ab] And a blue [Bb] ridge [Eb] memory
[Ab] That fills [Eb] my mind with another [Ab] time
And brings [Bb] her back [Eb] to me
