Capo 7
[Verse 1]
G
Well she comes out at night with the cold winds of December
C G
And when it's quiet you hear her engines cry
G
She blows smoke out her wheels and her gears pound the steel
C D G
As they carry her home down the line
G
Now I'm sure that you've heard stories as most of us have
C G
In the lunch counter and barber shop queues
G
She's the Ghost of Virginia and from here up to Richmond
C D G
She runs by the light of the Moon
[Verse 2]
G
Well a few years back on the old Suffolk Road
C G
Where it crosses the abandoned rail line
G
My Grandpa claimed that he'd seen a freight train
C D G
And it wasn't no sleek stream line
G
She was coal black and steel and she screamed as she cut
C G
Her way clear of the pines
G
But he swears to this day he can feel the earth shake
C D G
And smell her smoke when the wind's just right
[Verse 3]
G
Yeah but back in her day she was a real working horse
C G
Haulin' coal out for old man Ward
G
She was tied up with ribbons and set out to Richmond
C D G
Haulin' soldiers during the war
G
Ah but some say she wrecked and she rides these rails
C G
Hopin' one day that she'll get it right
G
Others say she roams out picking up lost souls
C D G
Carryin 'em down to Carolina
[Verse 4]
G
So if you're ever out on the old Suffolk Road
C G
And you see this strangest of sights
G
She's the Ghost of Virginia bound from Raleigh up to Richmond
C D G
And you'd best stay out of her line
C D G
Yeah you'd best stay out of her line
[Verse 1]
G
Well she comes out at night with the cold winds of December
