Take Me Home Country Roads

by John Denver

       G      Em
Almost heaven,  West Virginia
D                    C           G
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
                   Em
Life is old there, older than the trees
D                           C              G
Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze

Chorus:
            G              D
    Country roads, take me home
           Em    G   C
    To the place I belong
            G               D
    West Virginia, mountain mama
            C            G
    Take me home country roads

All my mem'ries gather 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye

    [CHORUS]

        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 drivin' down the road I get the feeling that I
          G
          shoulda been home
        D                D7
        Yesterday, yesterday

    [CHORUS]
