[Intro]
D

[Chorus]
A D
The green rolling hills of West Virginia
G A
Are the nearest place to Heaven that I know
D
Though the times are sad and drear
G
And I cannot linger here
D A D
They will keep me and never let me go.

[Verse 1]
A D
My Daddy said don’t you ever be a miner
G A
A miner’s grave is all you’ll ever own
D
Never have a dime to spare
G
Hard times everywhere
D A D
These times they are the worst I’ve ever known.

[Chorus]
A D
But he green rolling hills of West Virginia
G A
Are the nearest place to Heaven that I know
D
Though the times are sad and drear

And I cannot linger here

They will keep me and never let me go.

[Verse 2]
A D
I’ll move away into some crowded city
G A
In northern fact’ry town you’ll find me there

Though I’ll leave my heart behind
G
I’ll never change my mind
D A D
For this troubled life is more than I can bear
