Take Me Home, Country Roads* [C]
John Denver
Verse 1:
[single strums first two lines]
[C*] Almost heaven... [Am*] West Virginia
[G*] Blue ridge mountains [F*] Shenandoah [C] river
[C] Life is old there [Am] older than the trees
[G] Younger than the moun-tains... [F] blowing like a [C] breeze
|Chorus:
|Country [C] roads... take me [G] home
|To the [Am] place... I be[F]long
|West Vir[C]ginia... mountain ma[G]ma
|Take me [F]home... country [C] roads
Verse 2:
[C] All my memories... [Am] gathered round her
[G] Miner’s lady... [F] stranger to blue [C] water
[C] Dark and dusty... [Am] painted on the sky
[G] Misty taste of moonshine [F] teardrops in my [C] eye
|Chorus:
|Country [C] roads... take me [G] home
|To the [Am] place... I be[F]long
|West Vir[C]ginia... mountain ma[G]ma
|Take me [F]home... country [C] roads
Bridge:
[Am] I hear her [G] voice in the [C] mornin’ hour she calls me
The [F] radio re[C]minds me of my [G] home far away
And [Am] drivin’ down the [G] road I get a feel[F]in’ that I
[C] should have been home [G] yesterday... yester[G7]day
Acapella:
Country roads... take me home
To the place... I belong
West Virginia... mountain mama
Take me home... country roads
Outro:
Country [C] roads... take me [G] home
To the [Am] place... I be[F] long
West Vir[C]ginia... mountain ma[G]ma
Take me [F] home... country [C] roads
Take me [G] home... down country [C] roads
Take me [G] home... down country [C] roads [C//]
