This is an old Hazel Dickens song and Hazel is a West Virginia icon and a folk music legend
and she just passed away this past year and I have to say that
This is an iconic song back home where I'm from and I've felt this way many many [C] times
[F]
[C] [G] [C]
West Virginia
[F] Oh my home
[C] West Virginia
Where [G] I belong
[C] In the dead of night still [F] required I slip away like a bird in [C] flight
Those [G] hills the place that [C] I call home
It's been years now since [F] I left
This [C] city life's not [G] what I thought I'd find
[C] I
Can't remember why I left so free [F] what I wanted to do what I wanted to see
[C] But I [G] can still remember
Where [C] I come from West Virginia
Oh [F] my home
West [C] Virginia
[G] Where I belong
[C] In the dead of night still [F] required I slip away like a [C] bird in flight
Those [G] hills the place that [C] I call home
Well, I paid the price [F] for the leaving
[C] And it's life I have it's not [G] one I thought I'd find
[C] Just let me live love let [F] me cry but when I go
Just let me [C] die
Among [G] friends you'll remember when [C] I'm gone
West Virginia
[F] Oh my home
[C] West Virginia
[G] Where I belong
[C] In the dead of night still [F] required I slip away like a bird [C] in flight
Those [G] hills the [C] place that I call home
[F] Oh
[C] Oh, I can see it's so [G] clear in my mind
[F] [C]
Oh, I can almost smell the [G] honeysuckle
In [C] the dead of night still [F] required I slip away
Like a bird in the [C] back back [Em] to those [G] hills place
[C]
Back to those [G] hills
[C]
Nice [Bb]
