↩ Take me home, Country Roads  ≡ 

von John Denve

-- Verse

G Almost Heaven, E- West Virginia,
F Blue Ridge Mountains, C Shenandoah G River.
G Life is old there, E- older than the trees,
D younger than the mountains, C growin' like a G breeze. N.C.

-- Chorus

  Country G Roads, take me D home, to the E- place I be C long
  West Vir G ginia, mountain D mama, take me C home, country G roads.

-- Verse

  All 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

  Country Roads, take me home, to the place I belong
  West Virginia, mountain mama, take me home, country roads.
  {eov}

-- Bridge

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

-- Chorus

  Country Roads, take me home, to the place I belong
  West Virginia, mountain mama, take me home, country roads.
