[Intro]

[Verse 1]
<b class="chord">G</b> <b class="chord">C</b>
Back before these calloused hands and all this work
<b class="chord">G</b> <b class="chord">C</b>
We used to sit up at the flats
<b class="chord">G</b> <b class="chord">C</b>
Acting like we'd live forever
<b class="chord">G</b> <b class="chord">C</b>
Gettin' high and skipping class
<b class="chord">G</b> <b class="chord">C</b>
Yeah, I reckon we were heathens
<b class="chord">G</b> <b class="chord">C</b>
But in her eyes we were saints
<b class="chord">G</b> <b class="chord">C</b>
Now you're calling all the boys home
<b class="chord">G</b> <b class="chord">C</b>
'Cause heaven's angels carried her away
[Chorus]
<b class="chord">G</b>
So I will follow you to Virgie
<b class="chord">C</b>
Although it hurts me so
<b class="chord">G</b>
To lay to rest this mountain beauty
<b class="chord">C</b>
That the Lord's called home
<b class="chord">G</b>
And I can see her up in glory
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">D</b> <b class="chord">D7</b>
I can see her through the pines
[Interlude]
<b class="chord">G</b> <b class="chord">C</b>
[Verse 2]
<b class="chord">G</b> <b class="chord">C</b>
Back when all us boys were trying
<b class="chord">G</b> <b class="chord">C</b>
To make sense of all these strings
<b class="chord">G</b> <b class="chord">C</b>
I can see her in the corner
<b class="chord">G</b> <b class="chord">C</b>
Singing along to all our crazy dreams
[Chorus]
<b class="chord">G</b>
So I will follow you to Virgie
<b class="chord">C</b>
Although it hurts me so
<b class="chord">G</b>
To lay to rest this mountain beauty
<b class="chord">C</b>
That the Lord's called home
<b class="chord">G</b>
And I can see her up in glory
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">D</b> <b class="chord">D7</b>
I can see her through the pines
[Chorus] (Single strum)
<b class="chord">G</b>
And I will follow you to Virgie
<b class="chord">C</b>
'Cause that's what us boys are for
<b class="chord">G</b>
To help you out when you get weary
<b class="chord">C</b>
And you can't go no more
(Normal strum)
<b class="chord">G</b>
Can't you see her up there, Cody?
<b class="chord">C</b> <b class="chord">D</b>
I can see her through the pines
<b class="chord">D7</b>
Saying boys be good
[Coda]
