Met a [G]man wearing a [D]t-shirt, said “[C]Virginia is for [G]lovers”

[G]We both started [D]laughing when the [C]sky started to [G]rain
Get a[G]long on down the [D]road, we’ve got a [C]long, long way to [G]go
Scared to [Em]live, scared to [D]die, we ain’t [C]perfect but we [G]try
Get a[G]long while we [D]can, always give [C]love the upper [G]hand
Paint a [Em]wall, learn to [D]dance, call your [C]mom, buy a [G]boat
Drink a [G]beer, sing a [D]song, make a [C]friend, can’t we [G]all, get along

You [G]find out when you [D]die, the keys to [C]heaven can’t be [G]bought
