[Intro] Em G D C Em7 Em [Verse 1]
Em                        G                D
If you travel through the hills of West Virginia

C              Em7        Em
Down where the Greenbrier winds

               G                     D
Just turn your ear towards Bluestone Mountain

    C                   Em7                   Em
You just might hear the sound of a young girl crying
[Chorus]
Em                G                D
Some say it’s the wind through the canyon

      C                Em7               B7
As it blows a lonesome sound through the pines

Em                G            D
Some say it’s the sound of the river

    C               Em7        Em
But I say it’s just Cora Jones crying
[Verse 2]
Em              G                 D
See Cora lived alone on Bluestone Mountain

       C                   Em7              Em
With a little blond haired boy there by her side

             G                D
Bloody Civil War made her the widow

       C             Em7               Em
Little Jacob was her lifeblood and her pride
[Chorus]
Em                G                D
Some say it’s the wind through the canyon

      C                Em7               B7
As it blows a lonesome sound through the pines

Em                G            D
Some say it’s the sound of the river

    C               Em7        Em
But I say it’s just Cora Jones crying
[Solo] Em G D C Em7 Bm Em G D C Em7 Em [Verse 3]
Em          G             D
Sometimes I wonder if God watches

C                  Em7           Em
Sometimes life can turn in cruel ways 

                       G             D
Cause on a cold autumn day in late October

       C              Em7             Em
Little Jacob wondered in Scott Hollow Cave
[Verse 4]
Em                        G            D
Well the caves in West Virginia run forever

       C             Em7                Em
Like a maze of black ribbon through the ground

             G                 D
Cora went to search for little Jacob

    C                Em7           Em
But neither Jake nor Cora would be found
[Chorus]
Em                G                D
Some say it’s the wind through the canyon

      C                Em7               B7
As it blows a lonesome sound through the pines

Em                G            D
Some say it’s the sound of the river

    C               Em7        Em
But I say it’s just Cora Jones crying
[Verse 5]
   Em                        G                D
So if you travel through the hills of West Virginia

C              Em7        Em
Down where the Greenbrier winds

               G                     D
Just turn your ear towards Bluestone Mountain

    C                   Em7                   Em
You just might hear the sound of a young girl crying
[Outro] Em G D C Em7 B7 Em G D C Em7 Em END
