C5 B5
[ verse ]
D5
it was the morning of all saint’s day , ’ninety eight
E7sus4 D5 D5
when that old blind dog started roaming around the graveyard
D5
wouldn’t have bothered me so much
E7sus4 D5 D5
were he not walking on his hind legs and smoking cigars
[ chorus ]
C5
recite my lineage and genealogy
B5 D5 D5
you’ve got to know your history , son of virginia
C5
everybody’s in the church believing they’re a sinner
B5 D5 D5
and looking for a sign from the true son of virginia
[ verse ]
D5
when the storm blew over we made our way
E7sus4 D5 D5
to the old hay wain to infiltrate the sarcophagus
D5
by the dim light of a narrow window we saw
E7sus4 D5 D5
the god’s honest truth staring right back at us
[ chorus ]
C5
recite my lineage and genealogy
B5 D5 D5
you’ve got to know your history , son of virginia
C5
everybody’s in the church believing they’re a sinner
B5 D5 D5
and looking for a sign from the true son of virginia
C5
stare into the embers on the first of november
B5 D5
and remember you were born a true son of virginia
[ bridge ]
i was thrown to the ground as my world broke asunder
truly we are living in an age of wonder
truly we are living in an age of wonder
[ verse ]
D5
it was the morning of all saint’s day , ’98
E7sus4 D5 D5
when that old blind dog started calling me associate
D5
wouldn’t have bothered me so much
E7sus4 D5 D5
were it not for the fact that was the truth of it
[ chorus ]
C5
recite our lineage and genealogy
B5 D5 D5
you’ve got to know your history , son of virginia
C5
stare into the embers on the first of november
B5 D5 D5
and remember you were born a true son of virginia
[ bridge ]
i was thrown to the ground as my world broke asunder
truly we are living in an age of wonder
i wept like a child as the son rose above her
truly we are living in an age of wonder .
