[Verse 1]
[D]Charleston girl in [A]a darkened room
And [C]you don't know her [G]like I do
[D]We took the fire escape to [A]her room
And [C]got stoned, ragin' [G]blind
[D]Left my money in the [A]trustin' hands
Of them [C]ol' steel brothers and [G]fast crash band
[D]One day, I'm gonna dri[A]ve up there,
and [C]give them half my [G]mind[G]

[Verse 2]
[D]I don't know if it's the win[A]e or the coke
That [C]makes her sound like her [G]jaw is broke
[D]She's workin' hard to mak[A]e some sense,
but [C]she ain't got a [G]dime
[D]I wish to God that I could hel[A]p her out
[C]I wish I knew what she was tal[G]kin' bout
[D]I wish to God that I could get[A] away,
but I'm [C]way too drunk to [G]drive[G]

[Chorus 1]
[D]All I know is that when
[Am]I am good and sober
I am [C]leaving West Virginia for a [G]while
[D]Don't know why but every
[Am]time I cross that river
Lord, there's [C]somethin' tears me up,
makes [G]me [G]wild

[Verse 3]
[D]Charleston girl with [A]raven hair,
[C]bloodshot eyes and [G]skin so fair
[D]I believe if I could fin[A]d my keys,
I'd [C]try to drive a[G]way
[D]I never planned to lea[A]ve so soon
[C]I didn't know that he was swe[G]et on you
[D]Go ahead and tak[A]e her
'Cause [C]she ain't worth the [G]time[G]

[Chorus 2]
[D]All I know is that when
[Am]I am good and sober
I am [C]leaving West Virginia for a [G]while
[D]Don't know why but every
[Am]time I cross that river
Lord, there's [C]somethin' tears me up,
makes [G]me [G]wild
