Mountain Queen

D A Em G D A Em G


[Verse 1]
D                A
Sunday’s coming, I’m on my way
Em                G
Back to Kentucky with the money I made
D              A
Sun shining on her sweet face
Em                         G
And my heart’s aching when she’s away
D            A
If I’m lucky my hand she’ll take
          Em                                G
And we’ll walk through the holler while the mountain sways

D A Em G D A Em G


[Chorus]
D           A
Sweet dream 17
Em            G
West Virginia Mountain Queen
D               A               Em                          G
Heart lights up my empty street and burns through the night like kerosene
D                      A
Ohio’s calling you, I can’t breathe
Em                                 G
Why don’t you sing a little while, stay with me
D                  A           Em                    G
Your lips bring me to my knees and leave me shaking like autumn leaves

D A Em G D A Em G


[Verse 2]
D                 A
Stars in her eyes and the way she moves
Em                 G
More beauty than a flower blooms
D          A
I’m falling for what you do
Em                       G
Dancing in the dark to a banjo tune
D                           A
Don’t tell me what I got to lose,
Em                       G
my heart’s walkin’ away with you

D A Em G D A Em G


[Chorus]
D           A
Sweet dream 17
Em            G
West Virginia Mountain Queen
D               A               Em                          G
Heart lights up my empty street and burns through the night on kerosene
D                      A
Ohio’s calling you, I can’t breathe
Em                                 G
Why don’t you sing a little while, stay with me
D                  A           Em                    G
Your lips bring me to my knees and leave me shaking like autumn leaves
