[Intro]

[Verse]
Dm C
You’ve been carrying heartache round these small and dirty towns
Dm C Dm Cm A
Clutched up in your heart and soul blue field wheeling town
G Gm
I’ve seen you in the coal mine shacks
Cm Dm
In the mountains of the north

and the southern farmlands

Cracked your hands, show these men your worth
[Chorus]
D F#m Bm
West Virginia girl I’ve loved you from the start
G F#m Bm
My West Virginia girl the song I will sing for you
D C
For I know god loves you in his heart
D G D
God knows I love you too
C G Dm
[Verse]
Dm C
With all the weight of decades upon you as you strive
Dm C A
With poverty around your door, with the widsom in your eyes
G
Don’t the coal dust ever make you weep
F C Dm
Come siftin’ through your sod
Dm C
Don’t your tears e’er seem to blow your sleep
A# Dm
Come dreamin’ out for god
[Chorus]

Yes I do, yes I do

Dm
You have seen your sons and husbands
C
Carried from those mines
Dm
With a coal tattoo deep in their chest
C A
A death stare in their eyes
Gm
Down to Farmington I heard your cries
C Dm
And I felt your miseries too
Dm C
Small comfort though my song will bring
A# Dm
I’m singing it for you

And for all the ones I’ll never know

Who share this mountain home
G
For my momma and my grandma
Gm Dm
Who gave their love to me
Dm C
For the gypsy and her mother
A# Dm
And the one who would not be
[Chorus]

I come walking down a sad and lonely highway

Talkin bout your love
