VERSE:
Em G F#
This dreary forest hanging over my head I can hear them
Em G F#
Creep through the bushes and trees all around me dark and deep
Em G F#
That wretched pain staring at me from within
Em G F#
Oh it's just an old familiar friend come to see me once again
CHORUS:
G Am
And now it's just you and me and there's no one else around
G Am
Time to get to business put that hammer down
G Am
I've come this far and I sure ain't gonna stop
G Am B
for that West Virginia-A-A-A chocolate drop
Repeat intro
VERSE:
Em G F#
Somewhere atop that mountain lies a demon put to rest
Em G F#
And around him lie the pages of a book of his own poor lonesome death
Em G F#
And the memories that haunt me of that battle (forty one?)
Em G F#
They rise and fall and sink and swell as sure as the pointed sun
CHORUS:
G Am
And I'll never let me guard down for I know they'll come again
G Am
And I'll never let them mess no gonna fight hard as I can
G Am
I've come this far and I sure ain't gonna stop
G Am B
for that West Virginia-A-A-A chocolate drop
BRIDGE:
Am Em
Lord take me back to that water
Am Em B7
And now let everything go
Am Em
Lord guide me down from that mountain
Am Em
Ohh I'm coming down slow
