[Verse 1]

G             Em             D                         C         G
 Almost Heaven; West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River.

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

  C              G
Blowin' like a breeze.


[Chorus]

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

  C            G
Teardrop in my eye.


[Chorus]

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

    C        G             D
The radio reminds me of my home far away.

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

       G                     D                 D7
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.


[Chorus]

N.C.     G              D            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.

         G              D            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.

         D                  G              D                  G
Take me home, down country roads; take me home, down country roads
