[G] [A] [D]
Well I said goodbye to Rosie Rook [G] this morning I'm gonna [A] miss her bloodshot, [D] alcoholic eyes
She wore her Sunday hats all [G] shitty fresh
I'll
[A] carry her memory till the [D] day I die
She'll move me up to most world [G] heavens of mine
[A] [D]
She'll try and [Em] make me [D] change my [G] way of living
To [A] make me something [D] that I'm not
[G] [B] I'm a Montesuelo [G] hillbilly boy
But [A] my heart's [G] [D] Virginia
To [G] see, to [D] roll in, [G] up the Holden [Em] taxi
Still [A] I dream of those black hills that I ain't [D] never seen
They're [G] [A] [D]
[G] [A] [D]
[E] putting us in identical [A] little boxes
No [B] character, just [E]
uniformity
They're trying to build a [A] computerized community
But [Abm] they'll never make us [E] on the other way
They'll try and make me study [A]
elocution
[B] Because they say my [E] accent isn't right
They compare the slums with part of [A] their solution
But [B] they're never gonna kill my [E] cognate pride
I'm a Montesuelo [A] hillbilly boy
But [B] my heart lies in [A] old [E] West Virginia
Roll my nails in our streets
[A] I'm a serious [Gbm] in [B] the back
To those black hills that I [E] ain't [A] never seen

[E] [A] [B]
[E] [A] [B]
[E] I'm a Montesuelo [G] [A] hillbilly [Abm] boy
But my heart lies in [E] old West Virginia
Roll my nails in our streets
[A] I'm sleeping in [Gbm] my dreams
