Hills Of West Virginia Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D][D]
From the flat plains of O[G]hio
we [D]drifted out one [G]day
[D]For the southern [G]part of the [A]journey
[G]Underneath the [D]bridge, the O[G]hio river [D]sang
As we headed for the [G]hills of [A]West Virgin[D]ia[D]

[Verse 2]
And the [D]red sun of the [G]morning
was [D]smiling through the [G]trees
As the [D]darkness of the [G]night
was quickly [A]fading
And the [G]fog hugged the [D]road
like a [G]cloudy, cloudy [D]sea
When we drove though the [G]hills
of [A]West Virgin[D]ia[D]

[Verse 3]
We [D]smoked the [G]tobacco
and [D]drank of the [G]wine
And we [D]spoke of the [G]forest we were [A]passing
And the [G]road would [D]wind
and [G]wind and [D]wind
When we drove though the [G]hills
of [A]West Virgin[D]ia[D]

[Verse 4]
A[D]mong all the [G]wealth
of the [D]beauty that we [G]passed
There was [D]many old [G]shacks a-growing [A]older
And we [G]saw the broken [D]bottles
[G]laying on the [D]grass
When we drove though the [G]hills
of [A]West Virgin[D]ia[D]

[Verse 5]
The Vir[D]ginia people [G]watched
as we [D]went riding [G]by
Oh, [D]proud as a [G]boulder they were [A]standing
And we [G]wondered at each [D]other
with a [G]meeting of the [D]eye
When we drove though the [G]hills
of [A]West Virgin[D]ia[D][D]

[Verse 6]
And [D]once in a [G]while
we would [D]stop by the [G]road
And [D]gaze at the [G]womb of the [A]valley
[G]Almost wis[D]hing
for a [G]path down [D]below
Where we stopped in the [G]hills
of [A]West Virgin[D]ia[D]

[Verse 7]
[D]Up and down and [G]all around
we [D]took our restless [G]ride
And the [D]rocks they were [G]staring
cold and [A]jagged
Where ex[G]plosions of the [D]powder
had [G]torn away the [D]side
Where we drove through the [G]hills
of [A]West Virgin[D]ia[D]

[Outro 1]
And the [D]orange sun was [G]falling
on the [D]southern border [G]line
As the [D]shadows of the [G]night
were now re[A]turning
And we [G]knew the mountains [D]followed us
and [G]watched us from be[D]hind
Where we drove
from the [G]hills of [A]West Virgin[D]ia
When we drove
from the [G]hills of [A]West Virgin[D]ia
