[Intro] {G G/D} x4 [Verse 1] G Em D Almost Heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, C G Shenandoah River. G Life is old there, Em older than the trees, D C younger than the mountains, growin' G like a breeze. [Chorus] G D Country Roads, take me home, Em C to the place I belong G D West Virginia, mountain mama, C take me home, G country roads. [Verse] G Em D All my memories gather 'round her, miner's lady, C G stranger to blue water. G Em Dark and dusty, painted on the sky, D misty taste of moonshine, C G teardrop in my eye. [Chorus] G D Country Roads, take me home, Em C to the place I belong G D West Virginia, mountain mama, C G take me home, country roads. [Bridge] Em D/F# G I hear her voice, in the mornin' hour she calls me. C G The radio reminds me of D my home far away. Em F And drivin' down the road C I get a feelin' that G I should have been home D D7 yesterday, yesterday. [Chorus] G D Country Roads, take me home, Em C to the place I belong G D West Virginia, mountain mama, C G take me home, country roads. G D Country Roads, take me home, Em C to the place I belong G D West Virginia, mountain mama, C G take me home, country roads. [Outro] D Take me home, G (down) country roads. D Take me home, (down) G country roads.
