D Dmaj7 D9
I met Virginia two summers ago
G D
Up in them mountains teaching school
D Dmaj7 D9 G
All alone in a one room shack
D
Teaching the children all she knew
G D
We spent a lot of hours together
C D
And one day she said she'd love me for all time
C D
And I'm in love with my Virginia
C Fill Riff X 2
And I hope she don't change her mind
D Dmaj7 D9
We took a trip to Montana
G D
Guess we were looking for gold
D Dmaj7 D9
Never saw a trace of it
G D
But it was everywhere we were told
G D C D
Worked in a mine for thirteen hours every day
C D
I took one look at my Virginia
C Fill Riff X 2
And knew she wasn't meant to live that way
D Bm F#m7 G D Bm F#m7
The going was rough
G D Bm F#m7
But she treated me so kind
G D
I'm in love with Miss Virginia
C Fill Riff X 2
And I hope she don't change her mind
Interlude on Intro Chords
D Dmaj7 D9
Now we're back in Carolina
G D
Up in them Smokies where we belong
D Dmaj7 D9 G
Never knew why we went away
D
Can't understand why we were gone
G D
Been with her twenty years
C D
And all those years she made me feel so fine
C D
And she still tells me that she loves me
C Fill Riff X 2
And I hope she don't change her mind
C Fill Riff X 2 (D)
And I hope she don't change her mind
