Intro:   G  G/D  x4
 
G                       Em                       D                                         C                     G
  Almost Heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River.
G                         Em                                 D                                                     C                     G
  Life is old there, older than the trees, younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze.

 

                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.


ll my memories  gather 'round her, miner's lady, stranger to blue water.
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky, misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye.

 
Chorus


Em              D/F#               G
 I hear her voice, in the mornin' hour she calls me.
         C             G                        D
The radio reminds me of my home far away.
           Em                        F                 C                           G
And drivin' down the road I get a feelin' that I should have been home 
D                 D7
yesterday, yesterday.


 Chorus x2

        D                    G
Take me home, (down) country roads.
        D                    G
Take me home, (down) country roads.
