G  Em  D  C

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, blowin' 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                   C  
Take me home, country roads.
