"Meet Virginia"
by Train
tabbed by: Brian Lee
well, i looked at all the other versions that are posted, and quite honestly
i wasn't happy with any of them, so i took the liberty of trying my own
verse:
G C C/B Am D C
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------3-----------------------------------
-----0-0-------0-----0-----2-2--------2-------0-----------------------------
---0-----0---2-----0-----2-----2----0-------2-------------------------------
-----------3-----2-----0---------0--------3---------------------------------
-3--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The chorus is just Em-C
the picking pattern for the verse has this rhythm
G C C/B Am D C
she doesn't own a dress; her hair is always a mess
hope that clears things up
lyrics
she doesn't own a dress
her hair is always a mess
if you catch her stealing she won't confess
she's beautiful
smokes a pack a day
oh wait, that's me but anyway
she doesn't care a thing about that; hey
she thinks i'm beautiful
meet virginia
she never compromises
loves babies and surprises
wears high heels when she excercises
ain't that beautiful
meet virginia
well she wants to be the queen
and she thinks about her scene
pulls her hair back as she screams
i don't really want to be the queen
her daddy wrestles alligators
mama works on carburetors
her brother is a fine mediator
for the president
here she is again on the phone just like me
hates to be alone
we just like to sit at home
and rip on the president
meet virginia
well she wants to live her life
and she thinks about her life
pulls her hair back as she screams
i don't really want to live this life (oh no)
she only drinks coffee at midnight
when the moment is not right
and her timing is quite
unusual
see her confidence is tragic
but her intuition magic
the shape of her body
unusual
meet virginia....i can't wait to
meet virginia yeah
well she wants to be the queen
and she thinks about her scene
well she wants to live her life
and she thinks about her life
pulls her hair back as she screams
i don't really want to be the queen...i
i don't really want to be the queen...i
i don't really want to be the queen...i
i don't really want to live this.
any questions, comments, concerns, or if anyone figures out what chord he
plays on the bridge part (right after "i don't really want to live this
life") please email me at blee3@pop3.utoledo.edu
go rockets

| I love, love, love this song. I don't think that "Virginia" is real. I think the lyricist dreamt up the Perfect Girl for him, and made a song about what his Dream Girl would be: "Meet Virginia, I can't wait to..." That's where my theory comes from. The line 'I don't really wanna be the queen', always gets me. ;) | |

| this song is about me. this is basically my theme song so my friend and I renamed it "meet sophia". a lot of these things in the song relate to me and it is a beautiful beat. | |

| i actually think the song is about a confident and goofy woman who doesn't give a darn what the world thinks of her, as long as she can think for herself. she believes in freedom, but she cant decide what to do with it. i think the song is really great, one of my favorites. | |

| this song makes me think of holly golightly, breakfast at tiffanys. shes quirky, but amazing. and he really wants her to open up to him, but she hasnt yet, so he wants to 'meet' virginia. | |

| i love this song. to me, it says there is perfection in imperfection, you know, beauty in the abnormal. "she doesn't own a dress, her hair is always a mess" this shows she isn't vain and she doesn't care much about looks. shows that beauty is on the inside "you cath her stealin', she won't confess" this shows she asserts her values, and even though stealing may not be one of her 'values', it still shows her tenacity "smokes a pack a day, but wait thats me but anyway" shows that he also has his imperfections "she doesn't care a thing about that, hey, she thinks im beautiful" this shows that she loves him and accepts him no matter what his flaws are "she never compromises" again, showing she asserts her values, kinda showing shes the strong independent women type "loves babies and surprises" this shows she likes the unexpected in life. babies and suprises are both things that just come new, things that no one knows what'll happen with. (not saying babies are always unexpected, just their actions) agh, i gotta go, but i'll go the rest later | |

| ok, i continue.... "wears high heals when she excercises" this line is figurative, meaning she is still very beautiful and elegant and lady-like while still doing work and being strong and independent "well she wants to be the queen" she realizes all her flaws and imperfections and she wants to be perfect and admired for once "then she thinks about her scene" she thinks about all the changes she'd have to make "pulls her hair back as she screams" she is frustaurated because she is indecisive and doesn't know what she wants in life "i don't really want to be the queen" she wants to be admired and loved, but she doesn't want to have to conform to do so "daddy wrestles alligators" this just shows she came from a quirky, deff. not upper class family "mama works on carborators" this shows that her mother is also quirky, strong, and independent, since she has a job that w woman would not normally hold yea, well, gotta go again. ergh, stupid mom. but i'll do the rest later. peace and love -ally | |
