CAPO 2

 

[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

  Em              F             C

Drivin' down the road, I get a feelin'

         G                  D

That I should've been home yesterday, yesterday

 

[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

 

          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

 

         D                     G

Take me home, (down) country roads

         D                     G

Take me home, (down) country roads
