James A. Bland, arr. Ray Charles
Intro:
Carry me back to old Virginny.
[ch]C[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]F#[/ch]o
There's where the cotton and corn and taters grow.
ch]G/C[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]- [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
That's where the birds warble sweet in the spring-time.
[ch]C[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]F#[/ch]o
That's where this heart of mine, longs to go.
Carry me back to old Virginny,
[ch]C[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]F#[/ch]o
There let me live till I wither and decay.
ch]G/C[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]- [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
Long by the old Dismal Swamp have I wandered,
[ch]C[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]F#[/ch]o
That's where this life of mine will pass away.
Mother and father have gone before me,
[ch]C[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]F#[/ch]o
Soon we will meet on that bright and golden shore.
ch]G/C[/ch] [ch]A[/ch]- [ch]D[/ch] [ch]G[/ch
There we'll be happy and free from all sorrow,
[ch]C[/ch] [ch]E[/ch] [ch]F[/ch] [ch]F#[/ch]o
And there we'll meet, and part no more.
***Now I know the meaning of the phrase "Virginia is for lovers." I've fallen head
over heels for the state.***
