	  INTRO: G 
 
               G 
You said you'd go just for a year and I watched the taillights disappear 
     Am                                G 
Your words like old footprints upon my mind 
          G        
Yeah your family all was gone, but you couldn't imagine leavin' long 
       Am                                  G 
I said you only get your life for this one time 
    F         C               F                C 
But what do I recall when the world is all but changin' 
       F                C                D 
In the mirror while I'm standin' like an old stop sign 
 
     G 
Have courage, said the man, when you see your whole life turnin' out 
Am                              G 
Nothin' like you'd ever seen or planned 
                G 
He said there's always another day, and anyhow that's the only way 
     Am                                  G 
It's better just to learn that while you can 
               F                 C          F                  C 
Well would she stay or would she go, with a girl like that you never know 
       F               C        D 
What's goin' on in her heart is hard to define 
 
 
Chorus: 
    F      C 
But I'm inclined to say 
G                  D       G 
Virginia guess you made up your mind 
 
 
INTRO 
 
         G 
Well you taught me how to dance and what it is to take a chance 
        Am                                       G 
There's learnin' and there's doin', it's not the same 
       G 
Yeah I held you when you cried on the mornin' that your daddy died 
          Am                               G 
If you're livin', you hurt, there's no one to blame 
         F           C                  F                  C 
Yeah and hell I do alright, but there's times that I can't sleep at night 
      F                    C                      D 
And I think about things I didn't know would stay with me all this time 
 
 
Chorus 
 
 
SOLO: G  Am   G   Am   G 
 
     F        C                F    C 
Yeah years go by and you don't come home at all 
   F                C                D 
Or write or call or tell me what you did or didn't find 
 
         G 
Yeah the young girl that I married and the babies that she carred 
        Am                              G 
Are the stars that my whole world turns around 
      G 
And I guess she's just like me, and she didn't care too much to see 
     Am                               G 
What life was like outside our little town 
     F                   C             F              C 
Yeah mornin's, there are some, where I wonder if I've chosen 
   F                    C              G 
Anything that I've ever done before in my whole life 
 
 
Chorus: 
           F      C 
But that's all behind me now 
G                  D 
Virginia guess you made up 
F     C 
I'm inclined to say 
G                  D 
Virginia guess you made up 
F       C 
I don't mind to see 
G                  D       G 
Virginia guess you made up your mind
