Capo 2nd. Key: G      Strum Patt (down*, down/up, down/up, down/up)
                              *short stroke
G              Em
Almost heaven, West Virginia,
D                     C          G
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River.
                   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,
       Em       C
To the place I belong: 
     G                  D
West Virginia, mountain momma, 
        C             G
Take me home, country roads.
G                Em
All my mem'ries, gather 'round her, 
D             C                G
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water.
                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,
       Em       C
To the place I belong: 
     G                  D
West Virginia, 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
The radio reminds me of my home far away.
    Em              F
And drivin' down the road,
        C              G                     D
I get a feelin' that I should have been home yesterday,
      D7
yesterday.
        G              D
Country roads, take me home,
       Em       C
To the place I belong: 
     G                 D
West Virginia, mountain momma, 
        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 momma, 
        C             G
take me home, country roads.
        D             G
Take me home, country roads.
        D                  G
Take me home, down country roads.
