Verse 1:
[Bb]Back before these calloused hands did a[Eb]all this work
[Bb] We used to sit up at the f[Eb]flats
[Bb] Acting like we'd live forev[Eb]forever
[Bb] Getting high and skipping c[Eb]class
[Bb] I reckon we were heath[Eb]heathens
[Bb] But in her eyes we were s[Eb]saints
[Bb] Now you're calling all the boys [Eb]home
[Bb] As heavens angels c[Eb]carry her away
Chorus:
I[Bb]I will follow you to Virgie
[Eb] Although it hurts me so
To [Bb]lay to rest this mountain beauty
[Eb] That the Lord's called home
Can't[Bb]Can't you see her up in glory
[Eb] I can see her through the pines [F] [F7]
Verse 2:
[Bb] Back when all us boys were tryi[Eb]trying
[Bb] To make sense of all these s[Eb]strings
[Bb] I can see her in the corne[Eb]corner
[Bb] Singing along to a[Eb]all our crazy dreams
Chorus:
I[Bb]I will follow you to Virgie
[Eb] Although it hurts me so
To lay [Bb]to rest this mountain beauty
That[Eb]That the Lord's called home
Can't [Bb]you see her up in glory
I[Eb]I can see her through the pines [F]
[F7] I[Bb]I will follow you to Virgie
[Eb] 'Cause that's what us boys are for
To help[Bb]help you out when you get weary
[Eb] And you can't go no more
Can't[Bb]Can't you see her up there, Cody?
[Eb] I can see her through the pines [F]
Saying boys[F7]boys be good
