[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
