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
