WEST VIRGINIA MY HOME
by Hazel Dickens
Album: A Few Old Memories (1987)
Hazel Dickens (1925-2011) was considered a pioneer among women in bluegrass
music.
She was a feminist and a pro-union singer, famous for her political positions
as much as her songs.
If you have a mandolin, now would be a good time to play it!
Capo on 1st fret
Original in D#
[Intro]

[Chorus]
D G
West Virginia, oh my home
D A
West Virginia's 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 D7 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's 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 & Dobro Solo]
