[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


[Chorus]
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

Won't you rock him close to you

The poor boy's had a hotel so long
   D7                 G
He don't know what to do
