Take Me Home Country Roads chords by John Denver

[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
