But babe the Rocky Mountains are gradually eroding
    Em	      D		G	 C	    D		    G
the hills of Coors are nothing more than Blue Ridge wannabes

(A cappella chorus)

When you're talking home, you mean the Old Dominion (You're talkin...)
Just southeast of Heaven to the surf and the hills (She is the...)
Best of 13 sisters and 37 more
Sweet sweet Virginia always keeps an open door

A turkey on its belly - a chicken on its back

Sweet sweet Virginia always keeps an open door

They're fiddling down in Galax and pickin' up in Floyd
And in the land of Patsy Cline they're songs you can't avoid
When you're walkin' after midnight, I'll fall to pieces, too
I'm crazy back in baby's arms with sweet dreams of you

They're sailin' down in Norfolk and skiiing up in Bryce
climbin' up the Devil's Staits against Ranger's advice
They're harvesting in Loudoun to Shenandoah winds
and in the land near Washington they're rootin for the Skins


G	  D   G
Fight for old D.C.!

(Pre-chorus)

(Chorus)

Bridge:

F	       G           F		       G
Pack up your Impala - and make your move out west
F		     G		       D	            C
Past the Blue Ridge Mountains you'll find you passed the best
    F			   G	        F		   G
and when your dreams have ended where mountains are concerned
F		 G	     D		      C
Me and Sweet Virginia will await for your return....... hurn!

(Chorus)

(A cappella chorus)

Coda:

Sweet Virginia always keeps an open door,
Sweet Virginia always keeps an open doooooooooooor,

Sweet, sweet Virginia always keeps an open..... doooooor (Keeps an open door....)
