West Virginia My Home Chords

(ver. 1)
Hazel Dickens
CHORUS
         D           G
West Virginia, oh my home
         D                A
West Virginia, where I belong
       D                                               
In the dead of the night, in the still and the quiet 
  G
I slip away like a bird in flight
     D                   A                 D
Back to those hills, the place that I call home

VERSE 1
           D                     G
It's been years now since I left there
         D                                 A
And this city life's about got the best of me
           D                               G
I can't remember why I left so free what I wanted to do, what I wanted to see,
          D        A                 D
But I can sure remember where I come from.

CHORUS
         D           G
West Virginia, oh my home
         D                A
West Virginia, where I belong
       D                                               
In the dead of the night, in the still and the quiet 
  G
I slip away like a bird in flight
     D                   A                 D
Back to those hills, the place that I call home

MANDOLIN SOLO

VERSE 2
       D                       G
Well I paid the price for the leavin'
         D                                     A
And this life I have is not one I thought I'd find
            D                           G
Just let me live, love, let my cry, but when I go just let me die
  D                        A                  D
Among the friends who'll remember me when I'm gone

CHORUS
         D           G
West Virginia, oh my home
         D                A
West Virginia, where I belong
       D                                               
In the dead of the night, in the still and the quiet 
  G
I slip away like a bird in flight
     D                   A                 D
Back to those hills, the place that I call home

BRIDGE

G    ( A )   D                               A
Home, home, home I can see it so clear in my mind
G    ( A )   D                                       A
Home, home, home I can almost smell the honeysuckle vines

ENDING CHORUS (partial)

       D                                               
In the dead of the night, in the still and the quiet 
  G
I slip away like a bird in flight
     D                   A                 D
Back to those hills, the place that I call home
