[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
