Virginia Plain — Roxy Music
Chords and lyrics for Virginia Plain by Roxy Music (key of B).
Verse 1
Roxy Music - Virginia Plain
The song is in F# so if you want to play with the record use
Such an easy song you can just launch into it and it always sound great.
Perfect for doing your own arrangements
[E]Make me a deal, and make it straight, all [B]signed & sealed I'll take it
[E]To Robert E. Lee I'll show it, I hope & [B]pray he don't blow it cos
[A]We've been around a long time
[F#]Tryin', just tryin', just tryin' to [B]make-a the big time
Take me on a roller-coaster, take me for an airplane ride
Take me for a six-day wonder, but dont you, dont throw my pride aside
Besides, what's real and make believe
Baby Jane's in Acapulco, we are flying down to Rio
Throw me a line I'm sinking fast, clutching at straws, cant make it
A Havana sound we're tryin', a hard edged a-hipster jivin' oh
Last picture show's down the drive-in
You're so sheer, you're so chic,
Teenage rebel of the week
Flavours of the mountain streamline, midnight blue casino floors
Dance the cha-cha thru till sunrise, opens up exclusive doors, oh wow
Just like flamingoes look the same
So me and you, just we two, got to search for something new
B repeats 3 times followed by 7 repeats of the famous riff
(Guitar plays B E for this)
Far beyond the pale horizon someplace near the desert strand
A-where my Studebaker takes me, that's where I'll make my stand, but wait
Can' you see that Holtzer mane
NC
What's her name? Virginia Plain
