Take Me Home, Country Roads
Bill Danoff, Taffy Nivert, 1971· Songs Well-Known in America · p.318
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 Em C
Country Roads, take me home to the place I belong;
G D C G
West Virginia, mountain momma, Take me home, Country Roads.
All my memories gather' round her.
Miner's lady, stranger to the water.
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye. (Chorus)
Bridge:
Em D Em
I hear her voice, In the mornin' hours she calls me,
C G D
The radio reminds me of my home far away,
Em D C
And drivin' down the road I get a feelin',
D C
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday. (Chorus)
