[Verse]
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
Younger than the mountains, C G Blowin' 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 G
Take me home, country roads. [Verse]
G Em All my memories gather
D
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 I hear her voice in the
G
Morning hour she calls me,
C G The radio reminds me of
D
My home far away.
Em F And driving down the road
C
I get a feeling
G That I should have been home
D D7
Yesterday, yesterday.
[Chorus]
N.C. 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.
D G Take me home, down country roads;
D G
Take me home, down country roads
