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

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

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

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