capo 3 — sounds 3 semitones higherIntro
G C x2
Verse 1
Back before these calloused hands and all this work
We used to sit up at the flats
Acting like we'd live forever
Gettin' high and skipping class
Yeah, I reckon we were heathens
But in her eyes we were saints
Now you're calling all the boys home
'Cause heaven's angels carried her away
Chorus
So I will follow you to Virgie
Although it hurts me so
To lay to rest this mountain beauty
That the Lord's called home
And I can see her up in glory
I can see her through the pines
Interlude
G C x2
Verse 2
Back when all us boys were trying
To make sense of all these strings
I can see her in the corner
Singing along to all our crazy dreams
Chorus
So I will follow you to Virgie
Although it hurts me so
To lay to rest this mountain beauty
That the Lord's called home
And I can see her up in glory
I can see her through the pines
[Chorus] (Single strum)
And I will follow you to Virgie
'Cause that's what us boys are for
To help you out when you get weary
And you can't go no more
(Normal strum)
Can't you see her up there, Cody?
I can see her through the pines
Saying boys be good
Coda
G C x2, G
