[Eb] [Bb] [Eb]
Oh, the green [Bb] rolling hills of West [Eb] Virginia [Bb] Are [Ab] the nearest thing to heaven that [Bb] I know
[Eb] Though the times are sad and drear [Ab] And I cannot linger here
[Eb] They'll keep [Bb] me and never [Eb] let me go My daddy [Bb] said, don't ever be [Eb] a miner
[Bbm] For [Ab] a miner's brave is all you'll [Bb] ever know
[Eb] Cause the hard times everywhere [Ab] Can't find a dime to spare
[Eb] These are [Bb] the worst times I've [Eb] ever known
But the green [Bb] rolling hills of [Eb] West Virginia [Ab] Are the nearest thing to heaven [Bb] that I know
[Eb] Though the times are sad and [Bb] drear [Ab] And I cannot linger [Eb] here
They'll keep [Bb] me and never [Eb] let me go
[Ab]
[Eb] [Bb] [Eb]
So I'll move [Bb] away into [Eb] some crowded city [F] [Ab] In some northern factory town [Bb] to find me there
[Eb] Though I leave the past [Bbm] [Ab] behind I'll never change my mind
[Eb] These troubled [Bb] times are more than [Eb] I can bear
But the green [Bb] rolling hills [Eb] of West Virginia [Ab] Are the nearest thing to heaven [Bb] that I know
[Eb] Though the times are sad and [Bbm] drear [Ab] And I cannot linger here
[Eb] They'll keep [Bb] me and never let [Eb] me go
[Bb] [Eb]
[Cm] [Ab] [Bb] But
[Eb] [Ab]
[Eb] [Cm] [Bb] [Eb]
someday [Bb] I'll go back to [Eb] West Virginia To [Ab] the green rolling hills I [Bb] loved so well
[Eb] Yes, someday I'll go home [Ab] Not though I'll ride the loan
[Eb] These troubled [Bb] times will follow me, [Eb] no oh
Yes, someday I'll go home [Ab] Not though I'll ride the loan
[Eb] These [Bb] troubled times will follow [Eb] me, no oh
[Bb] [Eb] [N]
