Am               C              G         D
      Tell your white dog, to get off my high trail
Am               C              G         D
      Tell your white dog, he can go to hell
Am               C              G         D
      Tell your white dog, to leave me alone
Am               C                     G         D
      Why did you leave me here, to fend for my own

[Chorus]
Am       C        G
Go back, go back, to Virginia
D            Am
Tennessee is gone
C                 G
And roll into the sea
D                   Am
All your fields are burning
C                   G
The old school's on fire
D                   Am
The darkened sky is waiting
C               G         D
The new star to rise

[Verse 2]
Am               C            G         D
      There's a black snake in the cypress trees
Am               C              G       D
      There's a black snake and it's come for me
Am                 C                       G       D
      Go back inside the house and get your grey shotgun
Am                   C                   G             D
      And send that black snake back to where he came from

[Chorus]
Am       C        G
Go back, go back, to Virginia
D            Am
Tennessee is gone
C                 G
And roll into the sea
D                   Am
All your fields are burning
C                   G
The old school's on fire
D                   Am
The darkened sky is waiting
C               G         D
The new star to rise


[Verse 3]
Am               C              G         D
      Tell your white dog, to get off my high trail
Am               C              G         D
      Tell your white dog, he can go to hell
Am               C              G         D
      Tell your white dog, to leave me alone
Am               C                     G         D
      Why did you leave me here, to fend for my own

Am               C            G         D
      There's a black snake in the cypress trees
Am               C              G       D
      There's a black snake and it's come for me
Am                 C                        G       D
      Go back inside the house and get your grey shotgun
Am                   C                   G             D
      And send that black snake back to where he came from


[Chorus]
Am       C        G
Go back, go back, to Virginia
D            Am
Tennessee is gone
C                 G
And roll into the sea
D                   Am
All your fields are burning
C                   G
The old school's on fire
D                   Am
The darkened sky is waiting
C               G         D
The new star to rise

[Outro]
Am               C            G         D
Nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
