Take Me Home, Country Roads
by John Denver
Capo 2
[Verse]
G Em D C G
Almost Heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River.
G Em D C
Life is old there, older than the trees, younger than the mountains, blowin
G
like a breeze.
[Chorus]
G D7 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.
[Verse 2]
G Em D C
All my memories gather round her, miner's lady, stranger to blue
G
water.
G Em D C
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky, misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my
G
eye.
[Chorus]
G D7 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.
[Bridge]
Em D7/F# G
I hear her voice in the morning hours she calls me
C G D
the radio reminds me of my home far away.
Em F C G
And driving down the road I get a feeling that I should have been home
D D7
yesterday, yesterday.
[Chorus]
G D7 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.
[Chorus]
G D7 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.
[Outro]
D G
Take me home, country roads.
D G
Take me home, country roads.
