[C#m] It was in sweet Senegal that my foes did knee [G#] in front
For the [F#m] lands of Virginia, Virginia, [C#m] oh
Torn from that loving shore, I must [F#] never see [G#] it more
And [C#m] alas, I [G#] am weary, [C#] weary, oh
[F#m]
[B]
[C#m] On that charming coast, there's no bitter snow [G#] or frost
Like [F#m] the lands of Virginia, Virginia, [C#m] oh
Their streams forever flow, and [F#] the flowers forever [G#] grow
And [C#m] alas, I [G#] am weary, [C#m]
weary, oh
[F#m]
[B]
[C#m] This burden I must bear, while the cruel [G#] scourge I fear
In [F#m] the lands of Virginia, Virginia, [C#m] oh
And I think on friends most dear, [F#m] with the bitter, bitter [G#] tear
And [C#m] alas, I [G#] am weary, [C#] weary, oh
