Verse 1
Have (G major) you (G minor) (F sharpdim)

Pops (D major) a boogie -woogie rag,

so (C major) you can walk your beach,
yes. (G minor) (A minor) (F sharpdim)
(D major) Can't get (A minor) no fire insurance around here,
mm -mm. (D major)
(G major) When you goes, man, you're twinkle -toed. (D major) (G major)
(E minor) (G major) (C major) (G minor)
(C major) (G major) (C major) (G major) (A flatdim) (D major) (A minor) (D major) (G major)
(C major) Ah, (G major) it's (C major) a wonder that

The way he makes it pop
Just (A major) listen at him fan in the air
With his (D major) hoppity -hippity

Alright. we're very happy
tonight.
Very lucky too to have Peggy Lee

I'm Coming Virginia.
Folks, when Peggy sings the blues,
you're gonna hear the truth.
Every word's the truth.
