Verse 1
(D major) (D major)
From the flat plains of O (G major) hio
we (D major) drifted out one (G major) day
(D major) For the southern (G major) part of the (A major) journey
(G major) Underneath the bridge, (D major) the O (G major) hio river (D major) sang
As we headed for the (G major) hills of West (A major) Virgin (D major) ia (D major)
Verse 2
And the red (D major) sun of the mor (G major) ning
was (D major) smiling through the trees (G major)
As the (D major) darkness of the (G major) night
was quickly (A major) fading
And the (G major) fog hugged the (D major) road
like a (G major) cloudy, cloudy (D major) sea
When we drove though the (G major) hills
of West (A major) Virgin (D major) ia (D major)

Verse 3
We (D major) smoked the tobacco (G major)
and (D major) drank of the (G major) wine
And we (D major) spoke of the (G major) forest we were (A major) passing
And the (G major) road would (D major) wind
and (G major) wind and (D major) wind
When we drove though the (G major) hills
of West (A major) Virgin (D major) ia (D major)
Verse 4
A (D major) mong all the (G major) wealth
of the (D major) beauty that we (G major) passed
There was (D major) many old (G major) shacks a-growing older (A major)
And we (G major) saw the broken (D major) bottles
(G major) laying on the (D major) grass
When we drove though the (G major) hills
of West (A major) Virgin (D major) ia (D major)
Verse 5
The Vir (D major) ginia people (G major) watched
as we (D major) went riding (G major) by
Oh, (D major) proud as a (G major) boulder they were (A major) standing
And we (G major) wondered at each (D major) other
with a (G major) meeting of the (D major) eye
When we drove though the (G major) hills
of West (A major) Virgin (D major) ia (D major) (D major)
Verse 6
And (D major) once in a while (G major)
we would (D major) stop by the (G major) road
And (D major) gaze at the (G major) womb of the (A major) valley
(G major) Almost (D major) wishing
for a (G major) path down below (D major)
Where we stopped in the (G major) hills
of West (A major) Virgin (D major) ia (D major)
Verse 7
(D major) Up and down and (G major) all around
we (D major) took our restless (G major) ride
And the (D major) rocks they were (G major) staring
cold and (A major) jagged
Where ex (G major) plosions of the (D major) powder
had (G major) torn away the (D major) side
Where we drove through the (G major) hills
of West (A major) Virgin (D major) ia (D major)
Outro 1
And the orange (D major) sun was (G major) falling
on the (D major) southern border line (G major)
As the (D major) shadows of the night (G major)
were now re (A major) turning
And we (G major) knew the mountains (D major) followed us
and (G major) watched us from be (D major) hind
Where we drove
from the (G major) hills of West (A major) Virgin (D major) ia
When we drove
from the (G major) hills of West (A major) Virgin (D major) ia
