Intro: A | A

A            F#m
Almost heaven, West Virginia,
E                     D            A
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River.
                   F#m
Life is old there, older than the trees,
E
Younger than the mountains
D               A
Growing like a breeze.

Chorus:
             A              E
     Country roads, take me home
            F#m       D
     To the place I belong:
             A               E
     West Virginia, mountain mamma,
             D             A
     Take me home, country roads.

A              F#m
All my memories gather ‘round her,
E             D                A
Miner’s lady, stranger to blue water.
                F#m
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky,
E
Misty taste of moonshine,
D               A
Teardrops in my eyes.

Chorus:
             A              E
     Country roads, take me home
            F#m       D
     To the place I belong:
             A               E
     West Virginia, mountain mamma,
             D             A
     Take me home, country roads.

Bridge:
 F#m          E
   I hear her voice
          A
   In the morning hour she calls me.
       D       A              E
   The radio reminds me of my home far away,
   F#m              G            D
   Driving down the road I get a feeling
          A                     E
   That I should have been home yesterday,
         E₇
   Yesterday.

Chorus:
             A              E
     Country roads, take me home
            F#m       D
     To the place I belong:
             A               E
     West Virginia, mountain mamma,
             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 mamma,
             D             A
     Take me home, country roads.

        E                  A
Take me home, down country roads.
        E                  A
Take me home, down country roads.
