_ [E] _ _ _ _ [B] _
[F#m] _ _ [C#] lush [B] _ _
[F#] Virginia, _ you _
_ [A] kept her as [G#m] long [C#] as you _ _ [F#m] could.
[C#] Couldn't do [B] when my white [F#] brother found. _ _
_ [A] White shell [B] _ _
[C#] bead wrapped around her [A] skin _ [B] _
like [C#] giving river. _
_ [A] Her body [B] _
open [C#] as will his hand _ [F#m] with a goodbye [C#] that she'd _ planned. _
_ _ _ _ She [B] may [C#] betray _ [F#] _
[C#] all she loves _ [F#]
[C#] and [B] even wait [F#] for the savior [C#] to _ come.
[F#] I'll [B] do some things, [F#] maybe he'll [C#] be right.
But [B] his way [F#] isn't fair. _
[A] He knows he will [E] change [B] from us, so I [F#] step [C#m]
backwards.
[A] So [E] craving _ [B] she'll lead him, [F#] but not [C#m] him.
[A] _ _ [E] Covering him [C#] all the sin. _ _ _

tried.
And she loses [B] her love [F#] each day. _
_ _ [A] To get [B] a [F#] defense and a [C#] _ _ _
presidency.
[A] Try [B] and rouse _ [C#] _ political _ civilians.
[A] She can't [B]
become [C#] what they represent.
_ _ [A] And when [B]
yes, she [C#m] won't.
_ [F#] _ _
_ _ [C#] _ _ She [B] will be [C#] [F#] true.
[C#] All she loves _ and [B] even wait [F#] for the savior [C#] to _ come.

[A] So [E] craving _ [B] she'll lead him, [F#] but not him.
