          'Mid the green fields of Virginia, dear I met you,
                                        D                                                                            G  
          where the roses red and white around us grew.
                                C                                                                              G  
          When I held you in my arms and gently kissed you,
                        D                                                                                    D7  
          the robins sang the sweetest song we knew.
                G                                                                                              C                      G  
I am longing for old Virginia, for old Virginia and you,
                        D                                              G                         A                                    D  
and I'm hoping the soul within you is longing for me too.
                G                                                                              C                                            G  
To Virginia, just like the ivy, my heart clings ever true,
                  C                                                                    G                                                                 D                              G  
and I reckon in the spring I'll bring a little ring to old Virginia and you.

                                  G                                                 D                                    G  
          Though tonight I'm far from you and old Virginia,
                  D                                                                            G  
          I love you as I did that day in June.
                                        C                                                                                 G  
          And when springtime comes again to old Virginia,
                          D                                                                                 D7  
          I'll build a little cottage just for two.
                G                                                                                              C                      G  
I am longing for old Virginia, for old Virginia and you,
                        D                                              G                         A                                    D  
and I'm hoping the soul within you is longing for me too.
                G                                                                              C                                            G  
To Virginia, just like the ivy, my heart clings ever true,
                  C                                                                    G                                                                 D                              G  
and I reckon in the spring I'll bring a little ring to old Virginia and you.
