[Intro] G Am G Am [Verse] G Am Saw the look in her eyes, G She was dreaming of something. G Am D And I knew it took her far away. D Am G She told me she was missing her mama G Am D G and all her swee-eet yesterdays. [Chorus] G C G She said take me back to West Virginia. G C D I’ve been gone way too long. D Am G I want to go back to West Virginia. G C D G Take me back to my mountain home. [Verse] G Am G I can’t relive the days of my childhood. G Am D I’d like to see where I came from. D Am That old playground; the G One-roomed schoolhouse G Am D G the path we walked when the day was done. [Chorus] G C G She said take me back to West Virginia. G C D I’ve been gone way too long. D Am G I want to go back to West Virginia. G C D G Take me back to my mountain home. [Verse] G Am I long to see that little G White church house G Am D where we prayed for the loss. D Am G And we sang the Rock of Ages. G Am D G I got to know the Man on the cross. [Chorus] G C G She said take me back to West Virginia. G C D I’ve been gone way too long. D Am G I want to go back to West Virginia. G C D G Take me back to my mountain home. [Outro] G C D G
