Verse 1:
D       Dmaj7     D7
I met Virginia two summers ago
G                            D        Dsus4
Up in them mountains teaching school
D    Dmaj7    D7
All alone in a one room shack
G                            D
Teaching the children all she knew
G                         D
We spent a lot of hours together
       C                              D
And one day she said she'd love me for all time
C                        D
And I'm in love with my Virginia
     C                               D
And I hope she don't change her mind

Verse 2:
D        Dmaj7      D7
We took a trip to Montana
G                        D      Dsus4
Guess we were looking for gold
D      Dmaj7   D7
Never saw a trace of it
G                            D
But it was everywhere we were told
G          D
Worked in a mine
   C                    D
For thirteen hours every day
C                       D
I took one look at my Virginia
   C                                       D
And knew she wasn't meant to live that way

Chorus:
Bm A F#m G             D
..........the going was rough
Bm A F#m G                     D
..........but she treated me so kind
Bm A F#m G                         D
..........I'm in love with Miss Virginia
     C                               D
And I hope she don't change her mind, change her mind

Verse 3:
D        Dmaj7       D7
Now we're back in Carolina
G                            D      Dsus4
Up in them Smokies where we belong
D    Dmaj7       D7
Never knew why we went away
G                           D
Can't understand why we were gone
G                   D
Been with her twenty years
   C                                   D
And all those years she made me feel so fine
C                              D
And she still tells me that she loves me
     C                               D
And I hope she don't change her mind
     C                               D
And I hope she don't change her mind
