Verse
A		 amaj7	 d	  a
I knew virginia once she was a pretty girl
D 		 a		 d		 e
She walked in the wild fields and swam the wild
streams
A	  amaj7	d		  a
I took her out one day to the civil war
battlefield
D		a	 d		  e
Way down in manassas where I told her my dreams

Chorus
A 	  amaj7  d		  a
But now it’s disney’s america a long way from
anywhere
D 	   a 		 d		  e
With a brand new coat to wear with a brand name
on the seams
A	    amaj7 d			  a
Just disney’s america virginia she chose to stay
D	   a 		 e		    a
And we drifted apart like runoff into the
chesapeake bay

Verse
Then I had a family virginia, I guess she forgot
about me
She lives near the concrete sea or so people say
I don’t remember much about her gentle touch
My skin just turned so hard and my feet turned to
clay

Chorus
It was in disney’s america a long long way from
anywhere
You get what you pay for there man you get it in
spades
Just disney’s america virginia she chose to stay
And we drifted apart like runoff into the
chesapeake bay

Bridge
D	 f#m	   a		  e
You can’t get too excited you can’t get too
enthused
D 		f#m		  a	 e
From dismal land to the tragic mountain we are
not amused

Yeah I knew virginia once she, she was a pretty
thing
She walked in the wild fields and swam in the
wild streams

Chorus
But now it’s disney’s america that’s where we
collect our pay
Where we drifted apart like runoff into the
chesapeake bay
A
Yeah we drifted apart like runoff into the
chesapeake bay

Amaj7  d  a  e  a /pre>
