Leaving West Virginia Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C](Ka[Gsus4]thy Matte[G]a)[A][G]
Well, I'm [C]leaving [G]West Virginia
in the [Am]morni[G]ng
And I'm [F]headin' out that [C]California [G]way
I [C]don't know what I'll find but
[F]baby it's my time
And I'll [C]surely leave my [G]heart below the
Ma[F]son-Dixon [G]line[C][Gsus4][G][A]
[G]line
I've [C]seen a lot of [G]folks 'round
[Am]the street [G]tonight
Can't [F]seem to find the [C]words
to say good[G]bye
We're [C]close enough to touch but
[F]speaking is too much
And good[C]byes are heard
without [G]a word
[F]And they're [C]much more [G]than enough[Am][G][F][G]
[Am][G][F][Dm][G][Am][G][D]
[Dm][Em][F][G][Gsus4][G]
My [C]mama and my [G]daddy
they don't know [Am]what [G]to say
They [F]just can't bring them
[C]selves to under[G]stand
They [C]think I run away,
but to [F]run would be to stay
Cause the thing[C]s you want are o[G]nly
worth the [F]price you [C]have to [G]pay
[Am]What is home but a [G]place you
[F]keep within your heart
[G]And cal[Am]l on when you nee[G]d to feel ass[F]ured
[G]A p[Am]lace where all[G] you need
to be [D]is what you are-
A [Dm]past that [Em]in the present somehow
[F]makes you fee[G]l sec[Gsus4]ure
[G]Well, I'm [Am]leav[C]in' West
Vir[G]ginia in the morn[Am]ing
[G]And I'm hea[F]din' out that Cal[C]ifornia way[G]
I [C]don't know what I'll find but
[F]baby it's my time
And I'll [C]surely leave my [G]heart
below the Ma[F]son-Dixon line
[C]line
Yes I'll surely leave my [G]heart
below [F]the Mason-Dixon line
