Ryan and lloyd - Sweet Dream Virginia Dear Chords

[Verse]
      
D                       G   
Born and raised in West Virginia
D                         G     
An orphan of the prairies womb
Fm                     Bm7   
Named Virginia for the state that she was in
G              A              D        
She spent her child hood days subdued

[Verse]
D                           G   
She used to dream about the future
D                        G    
Of Paris silks and sunny days
Fm                           Bm7                  
She made her way to New York Harbour
G             A            D   
And stole the money on the way


[Chorus]
D                     G   
Sweat dreams Virginia dear
D              G     
1850 laid down here
Fm                         Bm7                  
Carved in letters deep and clear
G      A               D
Sweet dreams Virginia dear    


[Verse]
D                           G  
She found a matelot for her troubles
D                           G   
He gave her everything she’d lost
Fm                            Bm7    
And in his seed she found her freedom
G              A          D   
But everything has got a cost


[Chorus]
D                     G   
Sweat dreams Virginia dear
D              G  
1850 laid down here
Fm                         Bm7   
Carved in letters deep and clear
G            A         D  
Sweet dreams Virginia dear


[verse]
D                            G  
He cast her out on England’s dockland  
D                         G    
Among the beggars and the whores
Fm                            Bm7     
She took to working for their favours
G            A          D    
To avoid the work house doors


[verse]
D                           G  
She used to dream about the future
D                               G   
When all the world was young and sweet
Fm                        Bm7   
But in the present it’s a dream that never lasts 
G              A                D
She sold her child to make ends meet


[Chorus]
D                     G   
Sweat dreams Virginia dear
D              G  
1850 laid down here
Fm                         Bm7   
Carved in letters deep and clear
G            A         D  
Sweet dreams Virginia dear
