[Verse 1]
   G                   C    
In coal minin' country, green 
          G
rollin' hills
        G                        D
Well my true love is waitin', for 
         G
he loves me
G                   C        G
I had to go with my ramblin' ways
    G                              
I'm always thinkin' of him, for the
 D            G
 sweet love we made

[Chorus]
    Em                            
The last time I saw him we did the
G             Em
 West Virginia waltz
    G             Em
The West Virginia waltz
C              D       G
No-one holds a flame to you

[Verse 2]
   G                          
So I came back home, with what 
 C                G
treasures I have made
        G                         
Just to be your lovin' wife, with 
D          G
kids on the way
   G                       C      
So I found your oath and I ran to 
     G
your gaze
      G                            
I was calling out your name but now
     D         G
 you sleep under the clay

[Chorus]
    Em
