Disney's America Lyrics - Graham Parker

Capo at 4 Intro: E A E A 

VERSE 

A Amaj7 D A 

I knew Virginia once She was a pretty girl 

D A D E 

She walked in the wild fields and swam the wild streams 

A Amaj7 D A 

I took her out one day to the Civil War battlefield 

D A D E 

way down in Manassas where I told her my dreams 

CHORUS 

A Amaj7 D A 

But now it's Disney's America a long way from anywhere 

D A D E 

with a brand new coat to wear with a brand name on the seams 

A Amaj7 D A 

Just Disney's America Virginia she chose to stay 

D A E A 

and we drifted apart like runoff into the Chesapeake Bay

VERSE 

Then I had a family Virginia, I guess she forgot about me 

She lives near the concrete sea or so people say 

I don't remember much about her gentle touch 

My skin just turned so hard and my feet turned to clay 

CHORUS 

It was in Disney's America a long long way from anywhere 

you get what you pay for there man you get it in spades 

Just Disney's America Virginia she chose to stay 

and we drifted apart like runoff into the Chesapeake Bay 

BRIDGE 

D F#m A E 

You can't get too excited You can't get too enthused 

D F#m A E 

From Dismal Land to the Tragic Mountain We are not amused 

Yeah I knew Virginia once She, she was a pretty thing 

She walked in the wild fields and swam in the wild streams

CHORUS 

But now it's Disney's America That's where we collect our pay 

Where we drifted apart like runoff into the Chesapeake Bay 

A 

Yeah we drifted apart like runoff into the Chesapeake Bay 

Amaj7 D A E A
