Sweet Virginia Chords & Tabs
Chords are all pretty straight forward - all play open, not sure if its in the
right key (never checked against the record) but this version should work
perfectly for you if you just want to play on your own with an acoustic.
The '(G/A G/B)' part works best if you emphasise the bottom strings (ie A & D
strings - E string is dampened), the song works fine without it but I included as
it sounds that bit better with it.
