Take Me Home, Country Roads
by John Denver
Capo 2
[Intro]
G G/D x4
[Verse 1]
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 G
All my memories gather 'round her, miner's lady, stranger to blue water.
G Em D C G
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky, misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my 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 D/F# G
I hear her voice, in the mornin' hour she calls me.
C G D
The radio reminds me of my home far away.
Em F C G
And drivin' down the road I get a feelin' 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, (down) country roads.
D G
Take me home, (down) country roads.
