Version 1
            [Intro]
D  A  C  G  (x2)
G7

[Verse 1]
D                   A
Charleston girl in a darkened room
     C                  G
And you don't know her like I do
    D                  A
We took the fire escape to her room
    C                   G
And got stoned, ragin' blind
D                       A
Left my money in the trustin' hands
         C                     G
Of them ol' steel brothers and 'fastgrass' band
D                    A                 C                   G
One day I'm gonna drive up there and give them half my mind

G7

[Verse 2]
D                         A
I don't know if it's the wine or the coke
      C                      G
That makes her sound like her jaw is broke
D                       A                        C            G
She's workin hard to make some sense, but she ain't got a dime
D                           A
I wish to god that I could help her out
C                           G
I wish I knew what she was talkin' 'bout
      D                          A
I wish to god that I could get away
            C                 G   G7
but I'm way too drunk to drive

[Chorus]
D                          Am
   All I know is that when I am good and sober
          C                        G
I am leaving West Virginia for a while
D                            Am
   don't know why, but every time I cross that river
             C                                G
Lord, there's somethin' tears me up, Makes me wild

[Solo]
D  Am  C  G  (x2)
G7

[Verse 3]
D                        A
Charleston girl with raven hair,
 C                     G
bloodshot eyes and skin so fair
           D           A            C               G
I believe if I could find my keys, I'd try to drive away
D                   A
I never planned to leave so soon
C                        G
I didn't know that he was sweet on you
D               A
Go ahead and take her
C                          G     G7
'Cause she ain't worth the time

[Chorus]
D                          Am
   All I know is that when I am good and sober
          C                         G
I am leaving West Virginia for a while
D                           Am
   Don't know why but every time I cross that river
             C                                  G    G7
Lord, there's somethin tears me up, Makes me wild

[Outro]
D  Am  C  G  (x2)
