I dunno what my deal is this morning, but for some reason I just can't the progression for "Blue Virginia Blues". I've been playing along with Larry Sparks' version and thought it would be a good tune for the jam this weekend, but for whatever reason I'm missing it. I know it's probably painfully obvious, but I'm just not hearing it. Shameful, I know. Anyone pick this one?

Try this:
verse: I III IV I II V I III IV I V I

chorus: IV V I IV I V IV* I III IV V I

*this one might be wrong

I just listened to Larry Sparks' version on Rhapsody and I think the chorus goes:
(after a I-Maj7-Idom7 walk down for the last I chord of the verse)

IV V I IV I V IV V I IV I IV I

I believe Jim is right on this one.Notice that the song does not go to the V chord at the end there as most every other song does.It uses the IV instead.Hardly anybody will get that right in a jam session.
