West Virginia Chocolate Drop

	  		




Verse:
 
Em           G              F# 
This dreary forest hanging over my head I can hear them 
Em                            G         F# 
Creep through the bushes and trees all around me dark and deep 
Em            G            F# 
That wretched pain staring at me from within 
Em                   G                      F# 
Oh it's just an old familiar friend come to see me once again 


 
G                                        Am 
And now it's just you and me and there's no one else around 
G                       Am 
Time to get to business put that hammer down 
G                        Am 
I've come this far and I sure ain't gonna stop 
          G       Am    B      
for that West Virginia 


Intro 


Verse:
 
Em                  G               F# 
Somewhere atop that mountain lies a demon put to rest 
Em                     G                      F# 
And around him lie the pages of a book of his own poor lonesome death 
Em                     G              F# 
And the memories that haunt me of that battle (forty one?) 
Em                     G                 F# 
They rise and fall and sink and swell as sure as the pointed sun 


G                                      Am 
And I'll never let me guard down for I know they'll come again 
G                                      Am 
And I'll never let them mess no gonna fight hard as I can 
G                        Am 
I've come this far and I sure ain't gonna stop 
         G      Am      B

Bridge:
 
Am                        Em 
Lord take me back to that water 
Am                     Em   B7 
And now let everything go 
Am                           Em 
Lord guide me down from that mountain 
Am                 Em 
Ohh I'm coming down slow
