[Intro]
D A C G (x2)

G7

[Verse]
D A
Charleston girl in a darkened room
C G
And you don't know her like I do
D A
We took the fire escape to her room
C G
And got stoned, ragin' blind
D A
Left my money in the trustin' hands
C G
Of them ol' steel brothers and 'fastgrass' band
D A C G
One day I'm gonna drive up there and give them half my mind
G7
[Verse]
D A
I don't know if it's the wine or the coke
C G
That makes her sound like her jaw is broke
D A C G
She's workin hard to make some sense, but she ain't got a dime
D A
I wish to god that I could help her out
C G
I wish I knew what she was talkin' 'bout
D A
I wish to god that I could get away
C G G7
but I'm way too drunk to drive
[Chorus]
D Am
All I know is that when I am good and sober
C G
I am leaving West Virginia for a while
D Am
don't know why, but every time I cross that river
C G
Lord, there's somethin' tears me up, Makes me wild
[Solo]
D A C G (x2)

G7

[Verse]
D A
Charleston girl with raven hair,
C G
bloodshot eyes and skin so fair
D A C G
I believe if I could find my keys, I'd try to drive away
D A
I never planned to leave so soon
C G
I didn't know that he was sweet on you
D A
Go ahead and take her
C G G7
'Cause she ain't worth the time
[Chorus]
D Am
All I know is that when I am good and sober
C G
I am leaving West Virginia for a while
D Am
Don't know why but every time I cross that river
C G G7
Lord, there's somethin tears me up, Makes me wild
[Outro]
D A C G (x2)

G7 D
