Longing For Old Virginia

[(intro) ]G C G C G D G G D G '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 C G C G D G ) 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. ( G C G C G D G )
