Biografia:
Sons of Bill are a country rock band from Charlottesville, Virginia, that formed in the fall of 2005. At its core are brothers James, Sam, and Abe Wilson, the sons of Bill Wilson, the source of the band's name. The brothers returned to Virginia from very different paths in life to form a band based in the country music they grew up learning from their father while bringing along their interests in rock and jazz to influence their sound.
James Wilson plays acoustic guitar and is the band's lead vocalist.

VERSE (Same as INTRO)
Ain't it funny how you pray for rain,
And then you bitch about the rust,
You go reaching for the sands of time,
Wind up with a hand full of dust.
CHORUS
Cadd9 D
And I can hear Virginia calling,
Cadd9 D
And I can hear Virginia calling,
Cadd9 D G
And I can hear Virginia calling out to me,
Dadd4 Em7 Dadd4 Cadd9
Tonight I'll sleep, I'll be all right.
INTRO x2
VERSE (playing INTRO throughout)
And yeah I used to think I knew what love was,
And all I ever wanted was a song,
Until a girl's heart's too good for singing,
And you realize you were a damn fool all along.
PRECHORUS
Em7 Cadd9
Cause you got a heart that wants everything,
G Dadd4
Boy you got nothing at all,
Em7 Cadd9
And it's kinda like how you talk to God,
G Dadd4
When you're all alone.
CHORUS
Cadd9 D
And I can hear Virginia calling,
Cadd9 D
And I can hear Virginia calling,
Cadd9 D G
And I can hear Virginia calling out to me,
Dadd4 Em7 Dadd4 Cadd9
Tonight I'll sleep, I'll be all right.
INTRO x4
VERSE (Same as INTRO again, strumming softly)
I guess sometimes it makes you wonder,
What you lose and what you gain,
With your conscience cocked to hear the thunder,
Boy you're just standing in the rain.
PRECHORUS (building up)
Em7 Cadd9
It makes its way down to the rivers,
G Dadd4
And gets lost somewhere in the sea,
Em7 Cadd9
I thought I'd made a fool of everyone,
G Dadd4
What if the joke's on me?
CHORUS
Cadd9 D
And I can hear Virginia calling,
Cadd9 D
And I can hear Virginia calling,
Cadd9 D G
And I can hear Virginia calling out to me,
Dadd4 Em7 Dadd4 Cadd9
Tonight I'll sleep, I'll be all right.
INTRO x4
OUTRO - play INTRO one last time, end on G
Ain't it funny how you prayed for rain,
Still waiting on the rust.
