Thread Name: Lyr Add: Carry Me Back To Old Virginny
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Carry Me Back To Old Virginny
I found the Mel Bay Music book:

(G)Carry (C)me (G)back / / (B7)to (C)old Virgin-(G)ny.
There's where the (G)cotton (E7)and the (A7)corn and taters (D7)grow.
(G)There's (C)where (G)the birds (B7)warble (Am)sweet
in the (G)spring-time.
There's where this old (E7)darkey's
(A7)heart am (C)long'd (D7)to (G)go.

(D7)There's where I labored so (G)hard for (D7)old (G)Massa,
Day after day (B7)in the (A7)field of yellow (D7)corn;
(G)No (C)place (G)on earth (B7)do (Em)I (Am)love more sincere(G)ly
Than old Virgin-(E7)ny, the (A7)state where (C)I (D7)was (G)born.

Chords: Arranged By Mel Bay. (I placed the chord transitions before the
first syllable they are sung on.)
