[Eb]The green rolling [Bb]hills of West [Eb]Virginia
Are the [Ab]nearest thing to heaven that I [Bb]know
Tho the [Eb]times are sad and drear
And I [Ab]cannot linger here
They'll [Eb]keep me and n[Bb]ever let me g[Eb]o
[Eb]My daddy said don't [Bb]ever be a[Eb] miner
For a [Ab]miner's grave is all you'll ever [Bb]own
'Cause the [Eb]hard times everywhere
I [Ab]can't find a dime to spare
[Eb]These are the worst [Bb]times I've ever [Eb]known
[Eb]The green rolling [Bb]hills of West [Eb]Virginia
Are the [Ab]nearest thing to heaven that I [Bb]know
Tho the [Eb]times are sad and drear
And I [Ab]cannot linger here
They'll [Eb]keep me and n[Bb]ever let me g[Eb]o
SOLO
[Eb]So I'll move away in[Bb]to some crowded [Eb]city
In some [Ab]northern factory town you'll find me [Bb]there
Tho I'll [Eb]leave the past behind
I'll [Ab]never change my mind
These [Eb]troubled times are [Bb]more than I can [Eb]bear
[Eb]The green rolling [Bb]hills of West [Eb]Virginia
Are the [Ab]nearest thing to heaven that I [Bb]know
Tho the [Eb]times are sad and drear
And I [Ab]cannot linger here
They'll [Eb]keep me and n[Bb]ever let me g[Eb]o
SOLO
[Eb]But someday I'll go [Bb]back to West [Eb]Virginia
To the [Ab]green rolling hills I love so [Bb]well
[Eb]Yes, someday I'll go home
And I [Ab]know I'll right the wrong
These [Eb]troubled times will [Bb]follow me no m[Eb]ore
[Eb]Yes, someday I'll go home
And [Ab]I know I'll right the wrong
These [Eb]troubled times will [Bb]follow me no [Eb]more[Bb][Eb]
