 G            
 Skippin' town
                     C     
 Gone back to West Virginia
               G              D B7 
 With just a pencil to my name
          Em           
 And I once had a lover
      C            Am 
 But I messed it up
                           G              D  G 
 And I'll write her letters of love every day
                     G       
 Cause I laughed at the Lord,
 Em                          D/C 
 Danced with the woman in red
               G         Em 
 And the pillow's so cold
                D/C              
 Where my love once laid her head
                  G                          Em D/C 
 And I need more than West Virginia could give
 
           G  Em D/C 
 I need salvation
           Am    D 
 I need salvation
 
 
 Instrumental Section
 G C G D B7 Em C Am G D G 
          
 
 G                              C     
 All the times I think I see your face
            G              D B7 
 In the West Virginia skies
       Em          C Am 
 But its never you,
               G            
 And you don't need me girl,
               D        G 
 Cause I'm just a blight
 
         G                        Em      D/C 
 The perfume that you wear stains my heart
              G                        Em   D/C 
 And the tear stains on the letters from you
 
 They rip me apart
                   G    
 And I need so much more
         Em               D/C 
 Than any lover could give
 
           G  Em D/C 
 I need salvation
           G     D B7 
 I need salvation
           Em    C 
 I need salvation
                  G                         Em C 
 And I need more than West Virginia could give
            G     C 
 I need salvation.
