Eb Bb Eb
The green rolling hills of West Virginia
Ab Bb
Are the nearest thing to heaven that I know
Eb
Tho the times are sad and drear
Ab
And I cannot linger here
Eb Bb Eb
They'll keep me and never let me go
Eb Bb Eb
My daddy said don't ever be a miner
Ab Bb
For a miner's grave is all you'll ever own
Eb
'Cause the hard times everywhere
Ab
I can't find a dime to spare
Eb Bb Eb
These are the worst times I've ever known
Eb Bb Eb
The green rolling hills of West Virginia
Ab Bb
Are the nearest thing to heaven that I know
Eb
Tho the times are sad and drear
Ab
And I cannot linger here
Eb Bb Eb
They'll keep me and never let me go
SOLO
Eb Bb Eb
So I'll move away into some crowded city
Ab Bb
In some northern factory town you'll find me there
Eb
Tho I'll leave the past behind
Ab
I'll never change my mind
Eb Bb Eb
These troubled times are more than I can bear
Eb Bb Eb
The green rolling hills of West Virginia
Ab Bb
Are the nearest thing to heaven that I know
Eb
Tho the times are sad and drear
Ab
And I cannot linger here
Eb Bb Eb
They'll keep me and never let me go
SOLO
Eb Bb Eb
But someday I'll go back to West Virginia
Ab Bb
To the green rolling hills I love so well
Eb
Yes, someday I'll go home
Ab
And I know I'll right the wrong
Eb Bb Eb
These troubled times will follow me no more
Eb
Yes, someday I'll go home
Ab
And I know I'll right the wrong
Eb Bb Eb Bb Eb
These troubled times will follow me no more
