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.

And when springtime comes again to old Virginia,
D D7
I'll build a little cottage just for two.

and I'm hoping the soul within you is longing for me too.
