**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.
