The 79-year-old played an acoustic version of the famous tune with new lyrics to encourage social distancing.
Neil posted the video on Twitter in the comfort of his own home.
In the video, Neil said: “I know we’re going through a rough time right now but I love ya.”

“I think maybe if we sing together, well, we’ll just feel a little bit better.”
The singer proceeded to sing the song with the changed lyrics.
“Hands…washing hands,” he sang while strumming a guitar.
“Reaching out…don’t touch me, I won’t touch you!”
Over the weekend, Neil also tweeted his admiration and appreciation for healthcare staff working on the front line amid the coronavirus outbreak.
“Thank you healthcare workers, first responders, supermarket employees, food service and utility workers, delivery drivers and everyone out there who is on the frontlines to keep everyone safe,” he tweeted.
