[Verse 1]

 

A             F#m            E                         D         A

 Almost Heaven; West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River.

A                   F#m                    E

 Life is old there, older than the trees, younger than the mountains,

  D              A

Growin' like a breeze.

 

[Chorus]

 

         A              E            F#m        D

Country Roads, take me home, to the place, I belong,

         A               E             D             A

West Virginia, mountain mama, take me home, country roads.

 

[Verse 2]

 

A               F#m               E                 D              A

 All my memories gather round her, miner's lady, stranger to blue water.

A                 F#m                 E

 Dark and dusty, painted on the sky, misty taste of moonshine,

  D            A

Teardrop in my eye.

 

[Chorus]

 

         A              E            F#m        D

Country Roads, take me home, to the place, I belong,

         A               E             D             A

West Virginia, mountain mama, take me home, country roads.

 

[Bridge]

 

F#m            E            A

   I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me,

    D        A             E

The radio reminds me of my home far away.

    F#m               G            D

And driving down the road I get a feeling

       A                     E                 E7

That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

 

[Chorus]

 

N.C.     A              E            F#m        D

Country Roads, take me home, to the place, I belong,

         A               E             D             A

West Virginia, mountain mama, take me home, country roads.

         A              E            F#m        D

Country Roads, take me home, to the place, I belong,

         A               E             D             A

West Virginia, mountain mama, take me home, country roads.

         E                  A              E                  A

Take me home, down country roads; take me home, down country roads
