COUNTRY ROADS

(John Denver)

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,  blowin' like a breeze. 

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

G                 Em                  
  All my mem'ries,  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. 

   CH rpt.       + Inst. break (optional)

BRIDGE:  
Em            D             G   
  I hear her voice, in the mornin' hours she calls me, 
     C       G              D
The radio reminds me of my home far away.
     Em               F             C
And drivin' down the road, I get a feelin' that I
G                      D                    D7
should have been home yesterday,    yesterda-ay.

   CH rpt.  x 2
         C             G
Take me home, country roads.
