Country Roads by John Denver

Verse 1

[G]Almost Heaven; [Em]West Virginia,

[D]Blue Ridge Mountains, [C]Shenandoah [G]River.

[G]Life is old there, [Em]older than the trees, [D]younger than the mountains,

[C]Blowin' [G]like a breeze.

Chorus

Country [G]Roads, take me [D]home, to the [Em]place, I be-[C]long,

West Vir-[G]ginia, mountain [D]mama, take me [C]home, country [G]roads.

Verse 2

[G]All my memories [Em]gather round her,

[D]miner’s lady, [C]stranger to blue [G]water.

[G]Dark and dusty, [Em]painted on the sky, [D]misty taste of moonshine,

[C]Teardrop in my [G]eye.

Chorus

Country [G]Roads, take me [D]home, to the [Em]place, I be-[C]long,

West Vir-[G]ginia, mountain [D]mama, take me [C]home, country [G]roads.

Bridge

[Em]I hear her [D]voice in the [G]morning hour she calls me,

The [C]radio re-[G]minds me of my [D]home far away.

And [Em]driving down the [F]road I get a [C]feeling

That I [G]should have been home [D]yesterday, yester-[D7]day.

Chorus

Country [G]Roads, take me [D]home, to the [Em]place, I be-[C]long,

West Vir-[G]ginia, mountain [D]mama, take me [C]home, country [G]roads.

Chorus

Country [G]Roads, take me [D]home, to the [Em]place, I be-[C]long,

West Vir-[G]ginia, mountain [D]mama, take me [C]home, country [G]roads.

Take me [D]home, country [G]roads.
