[Verse]
C5
It was the morning of All Saint's Day, 'ninety eight
E7sus4 C5 C5
When that old blind dog started roaming around the graveyard
C5
Wouldn't have bothered me so much
E7sus4 C5 C5
Were he not walking on his hind legs and smoking cigars
[Chorus]
A#5
Recite my lineage and genealogy
A5 C5 C5
You've got to know your history, son of Virginia
A#5
Everybody's in the church believing they're a sinner
A5 C5 C5
And looking for a sign from the true son of Virginia
[Verse]
C5
When the storm blew over we made our way
E7sus4 C5 C5
To the old hay wain to infiltrate the sarcophagus
C5
By the dim light of a narrow window we saw
E7sus4 C5 C5
The God's honest truth staring right back at us
[Chorus]
A#5
Recite my lineage and genealogy
A5 C5 C5
You've got to know your history, son of Virginia
A#5
Everybody's in the church believing they're a sinner
A5 C5 C5
And looking for a sign from the true son of Virginia
A#5
Stare into the embers on the first of November
A5 C5
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
