you can walk the 5th fret to the forth, then go to Em. Makes
for a smoother sound.
Intro:(Same progression as the verse)
(G) On a starry (C) night, down in (D) Virginia
I fell in (C) love (D) with a blue eyed (G) girl
Her kiss was (C) warm, her touch was (D) tender
The sweetest (C) one (D) in all the (G) world
(Em) At (C) night I (D) dream a(G)bout her
In my (Em) dreams, she holds me (D) tight
and when the (C) clouds roll in at (D) twilight
I sit and (C) dream (D) of a starry (G) night
Then one (C) day down in (D) Virginia
My blue eyed (C) girl (D) she went (G) away
I miss her (C) love, I miss her (D) Kisses
I'll always (C) mourn (D) that cloudy (G) day
(Em) At (C) night I (D) dream a(G)bout her
In my (Em) dreams, she holds me (D) tight
and when the (C) clouds roll in at (D) twilight
I sit and (C) dream (D) of a starry (G) night
Now if you're goooin' to Virginia
don't be fooled by a blue eyed girl
A starry night could leave ya dreamin'
Of the sweetest one in all the world
(Em) At (C) night I (D) dream a(G)bout her
In my (Em) dreams, she holds me (D) tight
and when the (C) clouds roll in at (D) twilight
I sit and (C) dream (D) of a starry (G) night
