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

[chorus]
        A              E7           F#m        D
Country Roads, take me home, to the place I belong
        A               E             D             A
West Virginia, mountain mama, take me home, country roads.

A               F#m                 E               D                A
 All my memories  gather 'round her, miner's lady, stranger to blue water.
A                 F#m                  E                         D              A
  Dark and dusty, painted on the sky, misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye.

[chorus]
        A              E7           F#m        D
Country Roads, take me home, to the place I belong
        A               E             D             A
West Virginia, mountain mama, take me home, country roads.

[bridge]
F#m          E/G#          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            D              A
And drivin' down the road I get a feelin' that I should have been home
E                E7
yesterday, yesterday.

[chorus]
        A              E7           F#m        D
Country Roads, take me home, to the place I belong
        A               E             D             A
West Virginia, mountain mama, take me home, country roads.

[chorus]
        A              E7           F#m        D
Country Roads, take me home, to the place I belong
        A               E             D             A
West Virginia, mountain mama, take me home, country roads.

Take me home, (down) country roads.
