Verse 1

C
Have you ever been to Richmond in November
         E7                           F
When the cold Virginia rain is coming down
                                     C
Friends I'm here to tell you it's no pleasure
          D7                               G7
If you're all alone and a stranger to this town

Verse 2

C
Don't take me wrong I do like East Virginia
    E7                          F
And Richmond's full of hospitality
                               C
Except for one Virginia girl I know of
                    G7                C
That made a perfect love wreck out of me

Verse 3

F    G7            C
Blue blue Virginia blues
F                                      G7
There ain’t no blue like blue Virginia blues
F                                 G7
There ain’t no other girls in the whole wide world
     C                     F
Will break your heart like Virginia girls
        C                  F             C
There's ain’t no blue like blue Virginia blues

Verse 4

She called me up in St Paul Minnesota
       E7                              F
Said I need you here in Richmond right away
                                      C
Take the bus and I'll meet you at the station
D7                                     G7
Bring some clothes I might want you to stay

Verse 5

C
My bus pulled in the station late this evening
      E7                                 F
There ain’t a soul around this place but me
                                        C
She must have changed her mind or she's forgotten
                          G7         C
And her name ain’t in the phone directory

Verse 3

F    G7            C
Blue blue Virginia blues
F                                      G7
There ain’t no blue like blue Virginia blues
F                                 G7
There ain’t no other girls in the whole wide world
     C                     F
Will break your heart like Virginia girls
        C                  F             C
There's ain’t no blue like blue Virginia blues

Verse 6

I wish I had the money for a taxi
      E7                            F
And a warm and cozy place to lay me down
                                 C
Instead of standing all alone in Richmond
                        G7             C
While the cold Virginia rain is coming down

Verse 3

F    G7            C
Blue blue Virginia blues
F                                      G7
There ain’t no blue like blue Virginia blues
F                                 G7
There ain’t no other girls in the whole wide world
     C                     F
Will break your heart like Virginia girls
        C                  F             C
There's ain’t no blue like blue Virginia blues

Verse 7

F          C                  F             C
Oh there's ain’t no blue like blue Virginia blues
