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

Chorus:
         Am                D
And it's reach out old Virginia
           G         D       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        D    Em   D
And put your feet up for a while
 C                                F
So much travlin' 'round tends to take
away your smile

'Pears to me it's all a body can do to stay in tune
And you've been strainin' at those strings
From mornin' till noon
So come on down and hang around
It'll put you right real soon
'Cause nothing's changed
It's all the same

Chorus:
Reach out old Virginia
Won't you rock him close to you
The poor boy's had a hotel so long
He don't know what to do
It's time to come on home
And put your feet up for a while
So much travlin' 'round can take away your smile

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