[Verse 1]
C C/B Am G
Hey, honey, won't you sit down
F
And stop here for a spell
C C/B Am G
Singin' the sweet old lullabies
F Fsus4 F
To forget about your health
C C/B Am
Don't think about tomorrow
G F
It's a whole night's sleep away
F/C Dm7 G C
Sure would be pleased to have you stay
[Chorus]
Dm G
And it's reach out old Virginia
C C/B Am G
Won't you rock him close to you
Dm7 G
The poor boy's had a hotel so long
G7 C
He don't know what to do
Dm7 G
It's time to come on home
C C/B Am G
And put your feet up for a while
F A#
So much travlin' 'round tends to take away your smile
[Verse 2]
C C/B Am G F
'Pears to me it's all a body can do to stay in tune
C C/B Am G
And you've been strainin' at those strings
F
From mornin' till noon
C C/B Am G
So come on down and hang around
F
It'll put you right real soon
Dm7
'Cause nothing's changed
G7 C
It's all the same
[Chorus]
Dm G
Reach out old Virginia
C C/B Am G
Won't you rock him close to you
Dm7 G
The poor boy's had a hotel so long
G7 C
He don't know what to do
Dm7 G
It's time to come on home
C C/B Am G
And put your feet up for a while
F A#
So much travlin' 'round can take away your smile
