West Virginia My Home

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
