G G/F# Em7 G/D
Hey, honey, won't you sit down
C
And stop here for a spell
G G/F# Em7 G/D
Singin' the sweet old lullabies
C
To forget about your health
G G/F# Em7
Don't think about tomorrow
G/D C G/B
It's a whole night's sleep away
Am7 D7 G G7
Sure would be pleased to have you stay
Am7 D7
And it's reach out old Virginia
G G/F# Em7 G/D
Won't you rock him close to you
Am7 D7
The poor boy's had a hotel so long
Dm7 G7
He don't know what to do
Am7 D7
It's time to come on home
G G/F# Em7 G/D
And put your feet up for a while
C6 Fmaj7
So much travlin' 'round tends to take away your smile
G G/F# Em7 G/D C
'Pears to me it's all a body can do to stay in tune
G G/F# Em7 G/D
And you've been strainin' at those strings
C
From mornin' till noon
G G/F# Em7 G/D
So come on down and hang around
C G/B
It'll put you right real soon
Am7
'Cause nothing's changed
D7 G G7
It's all the same
Am7 D7
Reach out old Virginia
G G/F# Em7 G/D
Won't you rock him close to you
Am7 D7
The poor boy's had a hotel so long
Dm7 G7
He don't know what to do
Am7 D7
It's time to come on home
G G/F# Em7 G/D
And put your feet up for a while
C6 Fmaj7
So much travlin' 'round can take away your smile
G G/F# Em7 G/D C
G G/F# Em7 G/D C
G G/F# Em7 G/D C
G/B Am7 D7 G G7
Am7 D7
Reach out old Virginia
G G/F# Em7 G/D
Won't you rock him close to you
Am7 D7
The poor boy's had a hotel so long
Dm7 G7
He don't know what to do
Am7 D7
It's time to come on home
G G/F# Em7 G/D
And put your feet up for a while
C6 Fmaj7 C D7
So much travlin' 'round can take away your smile
G G/F# Em7 G/D C (repeat and fade)
