[Verse 1]

 

C             Am            G                         F         C

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

C                   Am                    G

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

  F              C

Growin' like a breeze.

 

[Chorus]

 

         C              G            Am        F

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

         C               G             F             C

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

 

[Verse 2]

 

C               Am               G                 F              C

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

C                 Am                 G

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

  F            C

Teardrop in my eye.

 

[Chorus]

 

         C              G            Am        F

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

         C               G             F             C

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

 

[Bridge]

 

Am            G            C

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

    F        C             G

The radio reminds me of my home far away.

    Am               A#            F

And driving down the road I get a feeling

       C                     G                 G7

That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

 

[Chorus]

 

N.C.     C              G            Am        F

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

         C               G             F             C

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

         C              G            Am        F

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

         C               G             F             C

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

         G                  C              G                  C

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