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

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

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

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

      G      Em  
I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me,  
D                       C  
The radio reminds me of my home far away.  
      G                Em  
And driving down the road I get a feeling  
D                      C  
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.  

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

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

      G                     Em  
Take me home, country roads.  
D                     C  
Take me home, country roads.
