Virgil And The Holy Ghost

• D

Intro D A G D A 
 
D  
Me and Virgil best of friend 
A 
brothers 'til the very end 
        G 
made a pact one sunny afternoon 
     D               A 
down by cold pepper creek 
 
D 
Fishing holes, skippin' rocks 
A 
down the railroad tracks we'd talk 
       G 
about girls and cars and hopes and dreams 
    D                   A 
the way our lives would be 
         
        Bm          A    G 
and we swore we'd never change 
              Bm     A      G 
and it would always be the same. 
 
D 
Virgil met the Holy Ghost 
  A 
a little younger than most 
       G 
at the gilappi pentacostal 
     D              A 
tent revival halter call 
 
 D 
Everyone in town was there that day 
 A 
Virgil gave his soul away 
         G 
they were praising as I waited 
  D                A 
outside the gospel hall 
 
       Bm          A      G 
And we swore we'd never change 
              Bm    A     G 
but it would never be the same 
 
              D 
Cause it was later on that year 
           A 
the winter that our mama died 
            Bm 
when I told Virgil I don't wanna hear 
     G 
about love and peace inside 
              D 
cause if this God you know is good 
        A 
how can he allow the pain 
            Bm 
life's been hard enough 
                    G              D A Bm G D A Bm G 
so why would I want to be born again  
 
           D 
The other night me and Virgil spoke 
    A 
he travels with the Holy Ghost 
 G 
holding tent revivals 
     D                A 
he's out to seek and save 
 
D 
Virgil says he's been set free 
    A 
by Jesus dying on the tree 
    G 
but I'm not sure what I believe 
   D               A 
my questions still remain 
 
       Bm         A       G 
Virgil says that when he prays 
            Bm         A      G 
he asks the Lord that I'd be saved 
        Bm            A    G 
I guess some things never change 
 
D A Bm G A D
