[Verse 1]
C
Slept high up in the Rockies
F G C F
Set my clock for Californieyaye
C Em F
And I dreamed up something special to give that ocean Man,
G
she cuffs
C F
me anyway
C
So I'm banking on Virginia
F G C F
To keep me calm and clear and straight
C Em
Just like clock work seems to tell us
F G C F
With every passing storm there's just a harder hail
[Chorus]
C F C F Am
So light my way, Virginia May
C
I can't sit still,
G
just pace across this hallway
F C
We spent all this time
F Am
Just trading crimes
G
While the tunesmith packed a lunch
F C F C
He's headed down the coastline
[Post-Chorus]

[Verse 2]
C C
There's a loneliness that's blowin'
F G
Well I heard it from the radio man
C F C Em
He's been locked up in the belfry
F G C F
Listening close to a string upon a can
C
Me, I'm sailin' on to that savior
F G C F
She's a pilgrim living on the modern time
C Em
And ever since I found her magic
F G C F C
Now every car or cloud that passes is a sign
[Chorus]
F C F Am
Light my way, Virginia May
C
I can't sit still,
G
just pace across this hallway
F C
We spent all this time
F Am
Just trading crimes
G F C
And I'm saving all my sleep for another life
G F C
I'm saving all my sleep for another life
G F C
And I'm saving all my sleep for another life
