[Verse 1]

 

G#             Fm            D#                         C#         G#

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

G#                   Fm                    D#

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

  C#              G#

Growin' like a breeze.

 

[Chorus]

 

         G#              D#            Fm        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#               Fm               D#                 C#              G#

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

G#                 Fm                 D#

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

  C#            G#

Teardrop in my eye.

 

[Chorus]

 

         G#              D#            Fm        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]

 

Fm            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.

    Fm               F#            C#

And driving down the road I get a feeling

       G#                     D#                 D#7

That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

 

[Chorus]

 

N.C.     G#              D#            Fm        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#            Fm        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
