[Verse 1]
G Em
Almost heaven, West Virginia
D C G
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
G Em
Life is old there, older than the trees
D C G
Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze
[Chorus]
G D
Country roads, take me home
Em C
To the place I belong
G D
West Virginia, mountain mama
C G
Take me home, country roads
[Verse 2]
G Em
All my memories gather 'round her
D C G
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
G Em
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
D C G
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
[Chorus]
G D
Country roads, take me home
Em C
To the place I belong
G D
West Virginia, mountain mama
C G
Take me home, country roads
[Bridge]
Em D G
I hear her voice in the mornin' hour, she calls me
C G D
The radio reminds me of my home far away

Drivin' down the road, I get a feelin'

That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday
[Chorus]

Country roads, take me home
Em C
To the place I belong
