D# A# Charleston girl in a darkened room C# G# And you don't know her like I do D# A# We took the fire escape to her room C# G# And got stoned, ragin' blind Left my money in the trusting hands Of them old Steele Brothers in a 'fastgrass' band One day I'm gonna drive up there And give them half my mind I don't know if it's the wine or the coke That makes her sound like her jaw is broke She's working hard to make some sense But she ain't got a dime I wish to God that I could help her out I wish I knew what she was talkin' bout I wish to God that I could get away But I'm way too drunk to drive Chorus: D# A#m All I know is that when I am good and sober C# G# I am leaving West Virginia for a while D# A#m don't know why, but every time I cross that river C# G# Lord, there's somethin' tears me up, Makes me wild Charleston girl with raven hair Bloodshot eyes and skin so fair I believe if I could find my keys I'd try to drive away I never planned to leave so soon I didn't know that he was sweet on you Go ahead and take her Cause she ain't worth the time Chorus: All I know is that when I am good and sober I am leavin' West Virginia for a while Don't know why but every time I cross that river Lord, there's somethin' tears me up, makes me wild You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#  A#m  C#  D#  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
