Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[F#m][A]

[Verse 1]
[D]Hang around [Bm]Willy [A]Boy[G]
Don't you raise [A]the sails anymore
[D]It'[Bm]s for[D] sure[Bm]
That I spent my [A]whole [Bm]life at [E]sea
And I'm [G]pushin' [Bm]age [E]73
And there's [C]only one [Bm]place
that was [A]meant for me

[Verse 2]
[D]Oh [Bm]to be h[A]ome ag[G]ain
Down in [A]old Virginny
[D]Wit[Bm]h my ver[A]y bes[D]t fri[G]end
They call him [A]Ragtime [D]Billy
We're gonna [Bm]sooth away
the [G]rest of our years
[D]We're gonna [Bm]put away a[G]ll of our tears
That [Bm]big rockin' chair
won't [E]go nowhere

[Verse 3]
[E]
[D]Slow down [Bm]Willy [A]Boy[G]
Your hearts gonna [A]give right out on [D]you
It's true
[Bm]And I be[D]lieve [Bm]I know w[A]hat I should[E] do
[G]Turn [Bm]the stern and
point [E]to shore
[C]The seven seas [Bm]won't carry [A]us no more

[Verse 4]
[D]Oh [Bm]to be h[A]ome ag[D]ain[G]
Down in [A]old Virginny
[D]Wit[Bm]h my ver[A]y best fri[G]end
They call him [A]Ragtime Billy
[D]I can't w[Bm]ait to s[G]niff that air
[D]Dip and [Bm]snuff I [A]won't [G]have no care
That [Bm]big rockin' chair
won't [E]go nowhere

[Verse 5]
[D]Hear the sound [Bm]Willy [A]Boy[G]
The Flyin' [A]Dutchman's on the [Bm]reef[D]
It's my [Bm]belief
That we've used up [A]all of our [E]time
And [G]the surf's to [D]steep [F#m]to cli[E]mb
And the [C]days that we [Bm]made
are [A]worth the time

[Verse 6]
[D]Oh [Bm]to be h[A]ome ag[D]ain[G]
Down in [A]old Virginny
[D]Wit[Bm]h my ver[A]y best fri[G]end
They call him [A]Ragtime [D]Billy
Would have been [Bm]nice just
to [G]see the folks
[D]Missing once [Bm]again to [G]the stale jokes
That [Bm]big rockin' chair won't g[E]o nowhere

[D]to be [A]home [D]again[G]
