CCome out Virginia, Ddon’t let me Emwait

You CCatholic girls start mDuch too Glate

But Csooner or later it cDomes down to Emfate

I Cmight as well be the Done

Well, they Cshowed you a statue, Dtold you to Empray

They Cbuilt you a temple and lDocked you Gaway

But Cthey never told you the Dprice that you Empay

For Cthings that you might have Ddone

You might have Cheard I run with a Ddangerous Emcrowd

We Cain’t too pretty we Dain’t too Gproud

We Cmight be laughing a Dbit too lEmoud

But Cthat never hurt no Done

So come Con Virginia shDow me a Emsign

CSend up a signal I’ll Dthrow you a Gline

The Cstained-glass curtain you’re Dhiding beEmhind

CNever lets in the Dsun

You got a Dnice white dress and a

CParty on your confirmatiGon

You got a Abrand new soul, and a croCss of gold

But VirDginia they didn’t give you

QCuite enough informatiGon

You didn’t cAount on me

When you were counting on your Crosary

G/BOh Cwoah G/Bwoah Am7woah

They Csay there’s a heaven for Dthose who will Emwait

CSome say it’s better but DI say it Gain’t

I’d rather Claugh with the sinners than Dcry with the Emsaints

The Csinners are much more Dfun

Solo on bridge chords if appropriate

CSooner or later it Dcomes down to Emfate

I Cmight as well be the Done
