[Verse 1]
   A                    D             A
In coal mining country, green rolling hills
         A                    E        A
Where my true love is waiting he loves me
A              D        A
I had to go my rambling ways
    A                           E             A
I'm always thinking of him, the sweet love we made

[Chorus]
    F#m
The last time I saw him
           A             F#m
We did the West Virginia Waltz
    A             F#m
The West Virginia Waltz
D              E        A
No one holds a flame to you

[Verse 2]
   A                      D              A
So I came back home, what treasures I've made
        A                               E           A
Just to be your lovin' wife, we'll have kids on the way
   A                    D           A
So I found your home, I ran to your gate
  A                               E               A
I called out your name though you sleep under the clay

[Chorus]
        F#m
But the last time I saw him
           A             F#m
We did the West Virginia Waltz
    A             F#m
The West Virginia Waltz
D              E        A
No one holds a flame to you
           A             F#m
We did the West Virginia Waltz
    A             F#m
The West Virginia Waltz
D              E        A
No one holds a flame to you
