The One I Left Behind

Capo 2

Intro - C G D G

Chorus: G            C          G
        Buddy can we talk about Virginia
        C              G                               D
        Talk about the Blue Rigde and the ol' lonesome pine
                          C          G
        Tell me 'bout the Shenandoah Valley
            C               G             D          G
        And don't forget my true love the one I left behind

Verse:  Em        G
        I used to make a decent living
        C                  G                              D
        Plowin' fields and raisin' cattle on that farm of mine
        Em                 G
        Now I'm stuck here in this mighty city
                                                     D      G
        Sweepin' floors and cleanin' windows just to buy my wine

Chorus

Break:  Chorus Chords

Verse:  I built a home and family in the coal fields
        Diggin' black diamond from an island creek mine
        But now I'm so alone here in this city
        And I dream about my darlin' wife she always on my mind
