G
I got sent off from my home
            D
In Virginia town
            G
In Virginia town
I'm stuck out here on my own
        D
Feeling down
        G
Feeling down

[Chorus]
C
Blue Ridge on the east side
   G
To protect me from the rain
C
Appalachian's loving arms
   G          D
To welcome me again
G
And in between their rolling hills
             D
The Virginia Way
             G
The Virginia Way

[Verse]
G
This is where granddaddy sat
               D
In a big straw hat
             G
And a cigare tte
G
This is where his daddy sat
               D
In a big straw hat
             G
And a cigare tte

[Chorus]
C
Blue Ridge on the east side
   G
To protect them from the rain
C
Appalachian's loving arms
     G             D
From Georgia up to Maine
G
And in between their rolling hills
             D
The Virginia Way
             G
The Virginia Way

G
I feel my family in my bones
             D
And Virginia town
            G
In Virginia town
G
I don't know how I'm coming home
               D
But we'll have fun
                G
When my work is done
           D
We'll have fun
                 G
When the work is done
