Take Me Home Country Roads Chords by John Denver

Tuning: E A D G B EKey: ACapo: 2nd fret

[Verse 1]

 

G Em D C G

Almost Heaven; West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River.

G Em D

Life is old there, older than the trees, younger than the mountains,

C G

Growin’ like a breeze.

 

[Chorus]

 

G D Em C

Country Roads, take me home, to the place, I belong,

G D C G

West Virginia, mountain mama, take me home, country roads.

 

[Verse 2]

 

G Em D C G

All my memories gather ’round her, miner’s lady, stranger to blue water.

G Em D

Dark and dusty, painted on the sky, misty taste of moonshine,

C G

Teardrop in my eye.

 

[Chorus]

 

G D Em C

Country Roads, take me home, to the place, I belong,

G D C G

West Virginia, mountain mama, take me home, country roads.

 

[Bridge]

 

Em D G

I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me,

C G D

The radio reminds me of my home far away.

Em F C

And driving down the road I get a feeling

G D D7

That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

 

[Chorus]

 

N.C. G D Em C

Country Roads, take me home, to the place, I belong,

G D C G

West Virginia, mountain mama, take me home, country roads.

G D Em C

Country Roads, take me home, to the place, I belong,

G D C G

West Virginia, mountain mama, take me home, country roads.

D G D G

Take me home, down country roads; take me home, down country roads
