[Verse 1]

 

E             C#m            B                         A         E

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

E                   C#m                    B

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

  A              E

Growin' like a breeze.

 

[Chorus]

 

         E              B            C#m        A

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

         E               B             A             E

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

 

[Verse 2]

 

E               C#m               B                 A              E

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

E                 C#m                 B

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

  A            E

Teardrop in my eye.

 

[Chorus]

 

         E              B            C#m        A

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

         E               B             A             E

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

 

[Bridge]

 

C#m            B            E

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

    A        E             B

The radio reminds me of my home far away.

    C#m               D            A

And driving down the road I get a feeling

       E                     B                 B7

That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

 

[Chorus]

 

N.C.     E              B            C#m        A

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

         E               B             A             E

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

         E              B            C#m        A

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

         E               B             A             E

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

         B                  E              B                  E

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