_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Oh, the green [G] rolling hills [C] of West Virginia
_ Are [F] the nearest thing to heaven that [G] I know
_ Though the [C] times are sad and drear and [F] I cannot think of year
[C] They'll keep [G] me and never let me [C] go
_ _ _ My daddy [G] said, don't ever be [C] a miner
_ For [F]
a miner's grave is all he'll [G] ever _ own
[C] There's hard times everywhere, [F] I can't find a dime to spare
[C] These are [G] the worst times I've [C] ever known
_ _ But the green [G] rolling hills of West [C] Virginia _
_ [F] Are the nearest thing [C] to heaven [G] that I know
_ Though [C] the times are sad and drear and [F] I cannot linger here
[C] They'll keep me and [G] never let [C] me go _
_ So I'll move [G] away into some [C] crowded city
_ In [F] some northern factory town, you'll [G] find me _ there _
[C] Gonna leave the past behind, [F] I'll never change my mind
[C] These troubled [G] times are more than I [C] can bear
_ But the green [G] rolling hills of [C] West Virginia _ _ _
[F] Are the nearest thing to heaven [G] that I know
_ Though the [C] times are sad and drear and [F] I cannot linger here
[C] They'll keep me [G] and never [C] let me go _ _ _
