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.
