[Verse 1]
A# Gm F D# A#
Almost Heaven; West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River.
A# Gm F
Life is old there, older than the trees, younger than the mountains,
D# A#
Growin' like a breeze.
[Chorus]
A# F Gm D#
Country Roads, take me home, to the place, I belong,
A# F D# A#
West Virginia, mountain mama, take me home, country roads.
[Verse 2]
A# Gm F D# A#
All my memories gather round her, miner's lady, stranger to blue water.
A# Gm F
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky, misty taste of moonshine,
D# A#
Teardrop in my eye.
[Chorus]
A# F Gm D#
Country Roads, take me home, to the place, I belong,
A# F D# A#
West Virginia, mountain mama, take me home, country roads.
[Bridge]
Gm F A#
I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me,
D# A# F
The radio reminds me of my home far away.
Gm G# D#
And driving down the road I get a feeling
A# F F7
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.
[Chorus]
N.C. A# F Gm D#
Country Roads, take me home, to the place, I belong,
A# F D# A#
West Virginia, mountain mama, take me home, country roads.
A# F Gm D#
Country Roads, take me home, to the place, I belong,
A# F D# A#
West Virginia, mountain mama, take me home, country roads.
F A# F A#
Take me home, down country roads; take me home, down country roads
