I Was Born In East Virginia chords by The Monkees

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
C             C7
I was born in East Virginia
   F        C
North Carolina, I did roam
    F        G G# Am
There I met a fair young maiden
       Dm G     C
Her name and age, I do not know


Verse 2:
C                  C7
Her hair it was of a light brown color
      F      C
Cheeks they were a ruby red
    F           G G# Am
On her breast she wore white lillies
    Dm  G     C
There I longed to lay my head

Verse 3:
C                C7
I'd rather be in some dark hollow
     F       C
Where the sun refuse to shine
    F      G G7 Am
Than to see her with another
    Dm G        C
And to know you'd never be mine

Verse 4:
C             C7
I was born in East Virginia
   F        C
North Carolina, I did roam
    F        G G# Am
There I met a fair young maiden
       Dm G     C
Her name and age, I do not know
       Dm G     C
Her name and age, I do not know
