[Verse 1]

 

G             Em            D                         C         G

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

G                   Em                    D

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

  C              G

Growin' like a breeze.

 

[Chorus]

 

         G              D            Em        C

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

         G               D             C             G

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

 

[Verse 2]

 

G               Em               D                 C              G

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

G                 Em                 D

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

  C            G

Teardrop in my eye.

 

[Chorus]

 

         G              D            Em        C

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

         G               D             C             G

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

 

[Bridge]

 

Em            D            G

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

    C        G             D

The radio reminds me of my home far away.

    Em               F            C

And driving down the road I get a feeling

       G                     D                 D7

That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

 

[Chorus]

 

N.C.     G              D            Em        C

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

         G               D             C             G

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

         G              D            Em        C

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

         G               D             C             G

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

         D                  G              D                  G

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