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

CHORUS

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-A-A-A chocolate drop Repeat 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

CHORUS

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 for that West Virginia-A-A-A chocolate drop

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 B7 D7 A7 C7 Repeat Intro Solo
