Verse 1:
G  G/F#       Em    D
Hey, honey, won't you sit down
  C
And stop here for a spell
G      G/F#   Em    D
Singin' the sweet old lullabies
  C            Csus4 C
To forget about your health
G      G/F#  Em
Don't think about tomorrow
D   C
It's a whole night's sleep away
C/G Am7      D          G
  Sure would be pleased to have you stay

Chorus:
     Am        D
And it's reach out old Virginia
     G    G/F#   Em  D
Won't you rock him close to you
  Am7        D
The poor boy's had a hotel so long
  D7         G
He don't know what to do
   Am7       D
It's time to come on home
       G    G/F# Em   D
And put your feet up for a while
C                F
So much travlin' 'round tends to take away your smile


Verse 2:
 G    G/F#  Em  D    C
'Pears to me it's all a body can do to stay in tune
  G      G/F#   Em    D
And you've been strainin' at those strings
   C
From mornin' till noon
  G    G/F#   Em  D
So come on down and hang around
   C
It'll put you right real soon
    Am7
'Cause nothing's changed
   D7      G
It's all the same

Am        D
Reach out old Virginia
     G    G/F#   Em  D
Won't you rock him close to you
  Am7        D
The poor boy's had a hotel so long
  D7         G
He don't know what to do
   Am7       D
It's time to come on home
       G    G/F# Em   D
And put your feet up for a while
C              F
So much travlin' 'round can take away your smile
