Carter Family - My Old Virginia Home Chords

[Intro]
D  G D  D A D
 
 
[Verse 1]
                                 G            D
It was on one winter day from my home I went away
                                           A
Far away from friends and home I longed to roam
      D                             G               D
But tonight I’m lone and sad just a little homesick lad
                       A            D
And I’m longing for my old Virginia home
 
 
[Chorus]
               G      D             G                    D
I’m a lad from old Virginia bravely knocking my way back home
              G           D               A
To that cabin home in the mountains never more let me roam
      D        G      D             G             D
I’m a lad from old Virginia and I’m coming coming home
                  G       D          A            D
There I’ll settle down forever in my old Virginia home

[Verse 2]
                                      G                 D
Since I left that little shack how my mind has wandered back
                                A
How mother often prayed for her lad
         D                       G                D
But from her I went astray and I know I’ve dearly paid
                      A             D
So I’m coming back to mother and my dad
 
 
[Chorus]
               G      D             G                    D
I’m a lad from old Virginia bravely knocking my way back home
              G           D               A
To that cabin home in the mountains never more let me roam
      D        G      D             G             D
I’m a lad from old Virginia and I’m coming coming home
                  G       D          A            D
There I’ll settle down forever in my old Virginia home
