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.  

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

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

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

Em        D             G  
I hear her voice, in the mornin' hours she calls me,  
    C       G              D 
The radio reminds me of my home far away. 
    Em              F 
And drivin' down the road, 
        C              G                     D 
I get a feelin' that I should have been home yesterday, 
      D7 
yesterday. 

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

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

        D             G 
Take me home, country roads. 
        D                  G 
Take me home, down country roads.
