[Intro]
A A A A
[Verse 1]
A F#m
Almost heaven, West Virginia,
E D A
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River.
A F#m
Life is old there, older than the trees,
E D A
Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze.
[Chorus]
A E
Country roads, take me home
F#m D
To the place I belong:
A E
West Virginia, mountain momma,
D A A
Take me home, country roads.
[Verse 2]
A F#m
All my mem'ries, gather 'round her,
E D A
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water.
A F#m
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky,
E D A
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye.
[Chorus]
A E
Country roads, take me home
F#m D
To the place I belong:
A E
West Virginia, mountain momma,
D A
Take me home, country roads.
[Bridge]
F#m E A
I hear her voice, in the mornin' hour she calls me,
D A E
The radio reminds me of my home far away.
F#m G
And drivin' down the road
D A E E7
I get a feelin' that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.
[Chorus]
A E
Country roads, take me home
F#m D
To the place I belong:
A E
West Virginia, mountain momma,
D A
Take me home, country roads.
A E
Country roads, take me home
F#m D
To the place I belong:
A E
West Virginia, mountain momma,
D A
Take me home, country roads.
[Outro]
E A
Take me home, (down) country roads.
E A
Take me home, (down) country roads.
E A
