       A       F#m                  E                     D          A
Almost heaven, West Virginia,       Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River 
                   F#m
Life is old there, older than the trees,
E                          D                    A 
younger than the mountains growin' like a breeze. 

              A             E            F#m       D
      Country roads,take me home, to the place I belong.
              A               E              D            A
      West Virginia, Mountain momma, take me home Country roads


       A         F#m                E             D                A 
All my mem'ries, gather round her,  miner's lady, stranger to blue water.
                F#m
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky,
E                          D                 A 
misty taste of moonshine   teardrop in my eye.

              A             E            F#m       D
      Country roads,take me home, to the place I belong.
              A               E              D            A
      West Virginia, Mountain momma, take me home Country roads


     F#m      E            A
   I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me,
       D        A              E
   the radio reminds me of my home far away
       F#m              G            D
   and driving down the road I get a feeling
          A                     E                 E7 
   that I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.

              A             E            F#m       D
      Country roads,take me home, to the place I belong.
              A               E              D            A
      West Virginia, Mountain momma, take me home Country roads
              A             E            F#m       D
      Country roads,take me home, to the place I belong.
              A               E              D            A
      West Virginia, Mountain momma, take me home Country roads
              E            A                E            A 
      take me home Country roads.   take me home Country roads.
