Topic: Virginia? (4 replies, posted in Song requests)
I'm looking for a song that I think is called "Virginia" Don't know the artist. Part of the chorus goes " ah Virginia, love me like you do, like you do, like you do" It's a jumpy tune with a few "wa-wa-ooo's" here and there. "my knees start to viberate" "let me look into your eyes" I think it's out of the "70's"
HELP PLEASE!

THE GHOST OF JACK DANIELS…..Steve Boileau
A D
On a cold windy night, in a dark Tennessee town,
E A
I was cleaning up the bar, getting ready to shut’er down.
A D
When in walked a Gentlemen, well dressed, tall and proud.
E A
He was weathered and gray, you could tell he’d been around.
……………
A D
He said his name was Jack, that he was just looking around,
E A
To share some old stories, and throw a few whiskeys down.
A D
He hitched up to the bar, I finished my last round,
E A
As he began to speak, on his brow there came a frown.
…………….
A D
He told me tales, of brave hearted men,
E A
who rode the horse of justice, who never came back again.
A D
He talked about old Wyatt, about Frank and Jesse James,
E A
The Youngers and John Tunstuil, Billy Bonny and his gang
……………
Chorus;
D E
I rode with Cole Younger, in his Quantrell days.
D E
I was with young Jesse, on that Northfield raid.
D E
Honour respect and pride are hard to find these days,
D E A
There are few men today, with the courage to be brave.
……………………
A D
They fought against the Barons, they fought the bankers too.
E A
They fought the men who told them what to do.
A D
When you take a mans freedom, you take away his life.
E A
You take the only thing he has, that keeps his soul alive.
…….
A D
After many years of travels, of bramble, wind and rain,
E A
My kind are few and scattered, and numbered are our days.
A D
The last of a dying breed, are the men I’ve known with pride.
E A
We all stood together, while others around us died.
………….
Repeat chorus…
A D
So one more shot bartender, Old # 7 please,
E A
For all of those behind us, who left us with this creed.
A D
Now the whiskey bottle is empty, as the ballads dirges and hymms
E A
I’ll never forget, that mans face, the one on the bottle looks a lot like him.
……………………….

I’VE MADE ALL MY BETS…..Steve Boileau
V1
D G
When I sit alone, and the darkness comes home,
A7 D
And the memories of life crawl in.
D G
I ponder if, the life I’ve lived,
A7 D
was worth it all in the end.
D G
I traveled long roads, carried heavy loads,
A7 D
slept out in the pouring rain.
D G
I’ve sang to the masses, wore shiney sunglasses,
A7 D
Lived hard, never feeling no pain.
……………………
Chorus;

I’ve got no regrets, I’ve made all my bets,

I’ve won and lost , that’s true.
G D A7 D
Now here I stand, proud of the man, who’s looking right back at you.
………………………..

D G
I’ve taken some chances, had one night dances,
A7 D
Been called a kid and a king.
D G
I’ve been up and down, but never pushed around,
A7 D
I’ve battled whatever life brings.
D G
My kids have all grown, they throw lots of stones,
A7 D
At reflections of me in the night.
D G
A father not a friend, is who I am in the end,
A7 D
Just doing what he thinks is right.
……………………….
Repeat chorus…
V3
D G
The loves, the friends, the bars the fights,
A7 D
The mountains and valleys of time.
D G
Are the stories I write, in my songs at night,
A7 D
With words and rhythm and rhyme.
D G
Older and gray from living this way,
A7 D
Than I ever thought I would be.
D G
A new dawn, a new song, a new love that is strong,
A7 D
Turned out good for a fella like me

Steve Boileau
C D
I walked up my little street, and a fellow I did meet,
G C
In a b-i-g black and yellow hat.
C D
I said what’s up with that, he said “yu seen my cat†,
G C
I said yea, it’s underneath that ladies car.
C D
Well the lady she came out, and they began to shout,
G C
‘cause her dog was barking r-e-a-l-l-y loud.
C D
Well the man took off his hat, and he scooped up his cat,
G C
And the dog started running round and round.
……………….
C G C
Imagine that---a dog and a cat
G D C
The things that you’ll see in this town.
……………….
C D
At the corner was a man, with pockets full of sand,
G C
And l-o-n-g pointed cowboy boots.
C D
He had a real fancy suit, and he was playing a flute,
G C
For a lady with a crown and a star.
C D
The flute sounded like a gun, had everybody on the run,
G C
And the star fell down a sewer hole.
C D
A kid he went a crawlin’, but his mother came a callin’,
G C
And hooked him with a farmers fishing pole.
……………………….
C G C
Imagine that---a dog and a cat
G C
A sewer hole---a fishing pole
G D C
The things that you’ll see in this town.
……………………..
C D
I started heading home, but I tripped on a stone,
G C
And went r-o-l-l-i-n-g on my neighbors lawn.
C D
I landed in the trees, and scraped both my knees,
G C
And ripped my favorite denim jeans
C D
So off I went a limpin’, and then I started thinkin’,
G C
Damn that cursed little stone.
C D
Cursin’ and a bleedin’, tired and full of seedlings,
G C
Sure was glad when I finally made it home.
…………………………

Imagine that---a dog and a cat

My neighbors trees---my favorite jeans

The things that you’ll see in this town
……………………………
C D
When I got in the house, I started yelling at my spouce,
G C
Get a doctor, get someone on the phone,
C D
She was in the kitchen, her girlfriends were bitchin’,
G C
Be Quiet, our favorite T.V. shows are on.
C D
So I went up to my room, and my head began to swoon,
G C
So I sat on the corner of the bed.
C D
I musta fell asleep, ‘cause I did not hear a peep,
G C
Till morning, when the alarm clock came on.

Just w-a-l-k-i-n-g up your little street.

So get up on your feet, the people you can meet,

Will a-l-w-a-y-s make you laugh and smile.

With cars, and cowboys playing flutes.

Just two old men sittin’ on a corner, watching the world go by.

Way back when, when they were younger men,
G
the world lay at their feet.
A7
Played in a rock’n’roll band, spit courage, sweat sand,
D
With a thumping backdoor beat.
G
Like Kieth & Mick, and John & Paul, these two were joined at the hip,
A7
They smoked and drank, pulled jokes & pranks,
D
And were chased by all the chicks.
D G
They almost got famous, had offers from all around,
A7
Then one got married, and the other got drunk,
D
Pretty soon they both left town.
……………………..
D G
Well one went on a western swing, worked rigs & things,
rode horse, drove a truck.
A7 D
Married some pig, with a bunch a kids, man she had him by the nuts.
D G
He got sick of that, said screw this crap, and bought himself a Bar.
Served drinks and woman, did some risky livin’,
D
Drove a big, old, black Cadillac car.
D G
Joined a country band, with a few good hands, almost got famous again.
A7 D
But drugs and wives, and cops and time, brought all that to an end.
D G
Busted, scared and skinny, broke and all alone,
A7 D
He heard his Mother was dying, so he decided to go back home.
……………………

Now the other fellow got himself an education,
G
with degrees and plaques and things.
A7 D
Wore a suit and tie, stopped getting’ high, bought a house,
Had a Knights of Columbus ring.
D G A7
Got himself an office, in City Gov’t Square, painted his picket fence white,
D
With the Mayor he was tight, and up the corporate ladder he’d stare.
D G
Well he had a maid to do his dishes, on the side he had a Misses,
A7 D
And his wife, she did all the charity balls.
G
Till one day he came home, the gardeners’ truck was on the lawn,
A7 D
But his clothes were scattered down the hall.
G
His wife took him to the cleaners, left him nothing but beans & wieners,
A& D
Took his house and took half his pay.
G
He did everything right, now he lays awake at night,
A7 D
and asks his god, why he treated him this way.
………………………..
D G
Now these two old guys sit on the corner, and watch the world go by.
A7 D
They discuss politics & hypocrites, with jaded wrinkled eyes.
D G
These two lived different lives, but both ended up the same.
A7 D
Just sittin’ on a corner, watching the world, hoping that it don’t rain.
