 [INTRO]

 Eb Eb7 
 
 [VERSE]
  Eb
 Charleston girl in a darkened room
    Ab
 And you don't know her like I do
 Eb
 We took the fire escape to her room
         Ab
 And got stone-raging blind

 Eb 
 Left my money in the trusting hands
       Ab
 Of them old Steele Brothers in a 'fastgrass' band
 Eb
 One day I'm gonna drive up there
       Ab
 And give them half my mind

 [VERSE]
 Eb
 I don't know if it's the wine or the coke
      Ab
 That makes her sound like her jaw is broke
  Eb
 She's working hard to make some sense
     Ab
 But she ain't got a dime

  Eb
 I wish to God that I could help her out
     Ab
 I wish I knew what she was talkin' bout
   Eb
 I wish to God that I could get away
         Ab
 But I'm way too drunk to drive

 [CHORUS]
  Eb                             Bbm
 All I know is that when I am good and sober
         Ab                           
 I am leavin' West Virginia for a while
 Eb                            Bbm
 Don't know why, but every time I cross that river, Lord
            Ab
 There's somethin' tears me up and makes me wild

 Eb Bbm Ab Eb 

 [VERSE]
 Eb                     Bbm
 Charleston girl with raven hair
  Ab                          Eb
 Bloodshot eyes and skin so fair
  Eb
 I believe if I could find my keys
       Ab
 I'd try to drive away

  Eb                    Bbm
 I never planned to leave so soon
   Ab
 I didn't know that he was sweet on you
 Eb                Bbm
 Go ahead and take her
        Ab
 Cause she ain't worth the time

 Don't know why, but every time I cross that river, Lord
            Ab
 There's somethin' tears me up and makes me wild
