G  Em  D  C  G  D  G

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