[Intro]
D G D A
[Verses 1, 2 and 3]
G C
The moon has come out tonight
G C
Round as a crying eye
G C
Round as a ringle of smoke
Em D
From your smoke signal sky
G C
I am the oak and the maple
G C
I have covered my roots
G C
You are the dancing Virginia
Em D
In black leather boots
G C
Come as a silver morning
G C
Come as the dragonfly
G C
Come as my sleeping sister
Em D
Through the midnight sky
[Chorus]
A D E
Cover me with your fire's ashes
A D E
Cover me with your midnight veil
A D E
Cover me with your smoky river
A D E
Cover me, dancing Virginia
[Verses 4 and 5]
G C
There's a pain in my side
G C
And it's killing me
G C
There's a field of crows
Em D
Now a black sea
G C
And I have called upon the hills
G C
And I have called upon the soil
G C
And they have screamed in my ear
Em D
Where's your heart boy
[Chorus]
A D E
Cover me with your fire's ashes
A D E
Cover me with your midnight veil
A D E
Cover me with your smoky river

Cover me, dancing Virginia

Come as a silver morning

Come as the dragonfly
G C
Come as my sleeping sister
Em D
Through the midnight sky
[Chorus]
A D E
Cover me with your fire's ashes
A D E
Cover me with your midnight veil
A D E
Cover me with your smoky river

Cover me, dancing Virginia

Cover me, dancing Virginia

D G
The gray elephant folds of adventure
D G
The blue oasis of meditation
D G
The feathered touch of a sleepy afternoon
D G
Beneath the tent of a palmetto haven
D G
And I'm rising upwards from my feet
D G A
As children run side by side with their elation
[Outro]
