[Intro]
G D7 G
[Verse 1]
G C G The girl from West Virginia read the same book all the time D7 C G At first, I thought perhaps she wasn't settled in her mind G C G She'd read it front to back and then she'd read it over again G D7 G She knew that I knew she knew what happened in the end
[Verse 2]
G C G She would go to work each morning, that's the book that she would take D7 C G She'd read it on her lunch hour and she'd read it on her break G C G Her calm expression never changed from page to page to page G D7 G You know, the story never changed from day to day to day
[Chorus 1]
D7 Some people said it was a book about a love affair D7 That grew and grew throughout the years and never knew a care C G A book wherein the people loved and dreams all turned out right G D7 G They say she even took the book to bed with her at night
[Interlude]
G D7 G
[Verse 3]
G C G I recall the tattered pages and the cover faded out D7 C G Of a walking windblown woman by some old majestic house G C G One day, I even asked her why she did that and she said G D7 G "Mister Hall, this is the best book I have ever read"
[Chorus 2]
D7 Some people say it was a book about a great romance D7 She picked it up the night she didn't make the high school dance C G Ain't it strange what life can sometimes do to people's minds G D7 G Like the girl in West Virginia who reads the same book all the time
