[Intro]

[Verse]
Eb Ab Ab7 Eb                   Bb           
■  ■  ■   Charleston girl in a darkened room
    Db                 Ab       
And you don't know her like I do
Eb                      Bb         
We took the fire escape to her room
    Db                Ab   
And got stoned ragin' blind
Eb                   Bb7           
Left my money in the trustin' hands
        Db                     Ab         Eb  
Of them ol' steel brothers and fast crash band
                  Bb                 Db                Ab   Db Ab
One day I'm gonna drive up there and give them half my mind ■  ■ 
Ab7 Eb                       Bb              
■   I don't know if it's the wine or the coke
     Db                       Ab          
That makes her sound like her jaw is broke
Eb                    Bb                  Db              Ab  
She's workin' hard to make some sense but she ain't got a dime
Eb                   Bb                
I wish to God that I could help her out
Db                         Ab          
I wish I knew what she was talkin' bout
Eb                   Bb                     Db               Ab    Ab7
I wish to God that I could get away but I'm way too drunk to drive ■  


[Chorus]
Eb                         Bbm                
■  All I know is that when I am good and sober
     Db                          Ab   
I am leaving West Virginia for a while
Eb                          Bbm                    
■  Don't know why but every time I cross that river
             Db                          Ab     
Lord there's somethin' tears me up makes me wild

[Verse]
Eb                   Bb7        Db                 Ab7     Eb  
Charleston girl with raven hair bloodshot eyes and skin so fair
                     Bb               Db           Ab  
I believe if I could find my keys I'd try to drive away
Eb                 Bb           
I never planned to leave so soon
Db                        Ab          
I didn't know that he was sweet on you
Eb           Bb      
Go ahead and take her
       Db                  Ab  
'cause she ain't worth the time


[Chorus]
Eb                         Bbm                
■  All I know is that when I am good and sober
     Db                          Ab   
I am leaving West Virginia for a while
Eb                          Bbm                    
■  Don't know why but every time I cross that river
             Db                          Ab     
Lord there's somethin' tears me up makes me wild
