[Intro]
G   C   x2
[Verse]
G                                 C 
Back before these calloused hands and all this work 
G                        C 
We used to sit up at the flats 
G                     C 
Acting like we'd live forever 
G                          C 
Gettin' high and skipping class 
G                      C 
Yeah, I reckon we were heathens 
G                       C 
But in her eyes we were saints 
G                          C 
Now you're calling all the boys home 
G                     C 
Cause heaven's angels carried her away
[Chorus]
   G 
So I will follow you to Virgie 
C 
Although it hurts me so 
   G 
To lay to rest this mountain beauty 
C 
That the Lord's called home 
G 
I can see her up in glory 
C                          D       D7 
I can see her through the pines
[Interlude]
G   C   x2
[Verse]
G                          C 
Back when all us boys were trying 
G                          C 
To make sense of all these strings 
G                    C 
I can see her in the corner 
G             C 
Singing along to all our crazy dreams
[Chorus]
   G 
So I will follow you to Virgie 
C 
Although it hurts me so 
   G 
To lay to rest this mountain beauty 
C 
That the Lord's called home 
    G 
And I can see her up in glory 
C                          D       D7 
I can see her through the pines
[Chorus]
G 
I will follow you to Virgie 
C 
'Cause that's what us boys are for 
   G 
To help you out when you get weary 
C 
And you can't go no more 
G 
Can't you see her up there, Cody? 
C                          D 
I can see her through the pines 
            D7 
Saying boys be good
[Outro]
G   C   x2, G
