[Verse 1]
C                      A7/F#               G    G6 G13
Wading through the waste        stormy winter
C                      A7/F#                G   G6 G13
and there's   not a friend  to help you through
C                      A7/F#                 G        C C2 C
Tryin' to stop the waves       behind your eyeballs 
G                D                   G      G6 G13
Drop your reds, drop your greens and blues
 
[Verse 2]
C                      A7/F#               G  G6 G13
Thank you for your wine            California
C                      A7/F#                G G6 G13
thank you   for your sweet   and bitter fruits
C                      A7/F#                 G        C   C2 C
Yes   I  got  the   desert   in   my     toe-nail   a-ah
G                D                            G  G6 G13
And I hid the speed inside       my       shoes
 
[Chorus]
C                    A7/F#                 G G6 G13
Come on,  come on down,   Sweet    Virginia
C                    A7/F#                 G G6 G13
Come on,  honey  Child     I beg of    you 
C                    A7/F#               G       C C2 C
Come on,  come on down,     you got it in you
G                         D7            G      G6 G13
Got to scrape that shit   right off your shoes

Come on,  come on down,   Sweet    Virginia

love it. great chords. thanks for posting

This is really good! I do think, however, that I like the sound of a plain D better than a D7 at "scrape the shit right off your shoes"

Capo 2
