G              Em              
Almost heaven, West Virginia,  
D                     C          G      
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River  
   
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  
   
        G              D            
Country roads, take me home to the  
Em         C      
place I be-long:  
         G               D       
West Vir-ginia, mountain momma,  
        C             G      
Take me home, country roads  
   
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  
   
        G              D            
Country roads, take me home to the  
Em         C      
place I be-long:  
         G               D       
West Vir-ginia, mountain momma,  
        C             G      
Take me home, country roads  
   
Em         D             G                            
I hear her voice, in the mornin' hours she calls me,  
C        G              D              
radio re-minds 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, yester-day  
   
        G              D            
Country roads, take me home to the  
Em         C      
place I be-long:  
         G               D       
West Vir-ginia, mountain momma,  
        C             G      
Take me home, country roads  
   
        D     C       G                  
Take me home, country roads   (slowing)  
        D     C       G      
Take me home, country roads
