[C]
[F] Hang [Dm] around Willie boy, [Bb] don't you [C] raise the sails anymore.
[F]
It's for sure that I've spent my whole [B] life at sea.
[Bb] And I'm pushing H [G]-73, [Eb] and there's only [Dm] one place that [C] was meant for me.
[F] [Dm] Oh, to be [C] home [Bb] again, down in [C] old [F] Virginia, [Dm]
with [C] my very [Bb] best friend.
They call them [F] ragtime, Willie.
We're gonna soothe [Bb] away the rest of our [F] years.
We're gonna [Bb] put away all of our tears.
[Dm] That big rocking chair [G] won't go nowhere.
[F] Slow down [D] Willie boy, [Bb] your heart's gonna [C] give [D] right out on you.
[F]
It's true, and I [C] believe I know [B] what I should do.
[Bb] Firm the [G] stern and point to shore.
[Eb] The seven [Dm] seas won't carry [C] us no more.
[F] Oh, [Dm] to be [Bb] home again, down in [C] old [F] Virginia, with [Dm]
my [Bb] very best friend.
They [C] call them ragtime, Willie.
[F] I can't wait to [Bb] sniff that air.
[D] Dip and snuff, I won't [Bb] have no [Dm] care.
That big rocking chair [G] won't go nowhere.
[F] Hear the sound, [Dm] Willie boy.
[Bb] The [C] flying [D] Dutchman's on the [F] reef.
It's my [Dm] belief that we've used up [C] all of our [G] time.
And [Bb] the sills to seep to [G] climb, [Eb] and the days that [C] remain aren't worth the time.
[Dm] Oh, to [C] be home [Bb] again, [C] down in old Virginia, [Dm] with [C] my very [Bb] best friend.
They [C] call them ragtime, [F] Willie.
Would [D] have been nice just [Bb] to see the foes.
[F] I miss them [Dm] once again to the sailor jokes.
That big rocking chair won't [G] go nowhere.
