Green Rolling Hills by Utah Phillips, Alice Gerrard, Hazel Dickens sung by Emmylou Harris C G7 C The green rolling hills of West Virginia F G7 Are the nearest thing to heaven that I know C F Though the times are sad and drear and I cannot linger here C G7 C They'll keep me and never let me go G7 C My daddy said don't ever be a miner F G7 For a miner's grave is all you'll ever own C F Cause the hard times everywhere I can't find a dime to spare C G7 C These are the worst times I've ever known Repeat #1 G7 C So I'll move away into some crowded city F G7 In some northern factory town you'll find me there C F Though I'll leave the past behind I'll never change my mind C G7 C These troubled times are more than I can bear Repeat #1 G7 C Someday I'll go back to West Virginia F G7 To the green rolling hills I love so well C F Yes someday I'll go home and I know I'll right the wrong C G7 C These troubled times will follow me no more F Yes someday I'll go home and I know I'll right the wrong C G7 C These troubled times will follow me no more
