F G Am
Come out Virginia, don't let me me wait
F G C
You Catholic girls start much too late
F G Am
Ah, but sooner or later it comes down to fate
F G
I might as well be the one
F G Am
Well they showed you a statue told you to pray
F G C
They built you a temple and locked you away
F G Am
Ah, but they never told you the price that you pay
F G
For things that you might have done....

F G C
We ain't too pretty we ain't too proud
F G Am
We might be laughing a bit too loud
F G
Ah, but that never hurt no one
F G Am
So come on Virginia show me a sign

Send up a signal I'll throw you the line

The stained-glass curtain you're hiding behind

Never lets in the sun

You didn't count on me

When you were counting on your rosary

Some say it's better but I say it ain't

Sinners are much more fun....
