Chords for West Virginia My Home. The Hillbilly Gypsies 6.16.12. SCJ-IX

Anyhow, this is a _ [F] beautiful number written by a beautiful [G] woman that we lost, what?
Last March.
[C] Her name is Hazel Dickens and she's a huge influence on us. _
She always [G] spoke her mind and she lived her life a certain way and we always admired [C] her
for the way she was and also for her songwriting.
This is one that's always been dear to us.
It's West Virginia, my home. _ _ _ _ _ _ _

_ _ West Virginia _ _ is where [F] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] I belong. _ _ _
_ [C] In the dead of the night and still and quiet [F] I slip away like a bird in [C] flight back to
those hills, [G] the place that I [C] call home. _ _
_ Well, it's been _ _ years now since [F] I left there _ and _ _ [C] this city life's about got the best [G] of me. _ _
_ _ _ [C] I can't remember my life so free, [Fm] wouldn't want [F] to do, wouldn't want to see, [C] but I can
sure [G] remember _ the place [E] that I [C] call home.
_ _ _ West _ _ _ Virginia, _ _ oh my [F] home. _ _ _ _
West [C] _ _ _ _ Virginia's where [G] I belong. _ _ _ _ _
[C] In the dead of the night and still and quiet I [F] slip away like a bird in [C] flight back to
those hills, the [D] place that I [C] call home. _ _ _ _
Well, I pay [Cm] the [D] price for the [Cm] leaving _ [F] and _ _ this [C] city life's not what I thought [G] I'd _ _ find.
_ [C] Won't you let go, _ let me cry.
[F] _ _ _ Won't you let me die [C] among the friends [G] who'll remember me when [C] I'm _ [G] gone. _ _

_ _ [F] _ _ Oh, oh, _ oh, [C] _ oh, oh, _ _ _ I can almost smell the _ honeysuckle [G] _ vine. _ _ _
_ [C] In the dead of the night and still and quiet [F] I slip away like a bird in flight [C] back to
those hills, [G] the place that I [C] call home.
_ [F] _ _
_ [C] Back to those hills, [G] the place that I _ call _ [F] _
[Dm] home.

_ _ _ _ _ Thank you!
