Acoustic guitar version (QK)
Capo 2
Tempo 93; Funk 6 swung
Male Key: [B]
Intro: [A] [F#m7] [E] [D9]
(Verse)
[A]Almost heaven, [F#m7]West Virginia,
[E]Blue Ridge Mountains, [D9]Shenandoah [F#m7]River.
[A]Life is old there, [F#m7]older than the trees,
[E]Younger than the mountains, [D9]growin' like a [A]breeze.
(Chorus)
[A]Country roads, take me [E]home,
To the [F#m]place I [D9]belong:
West [A]Virginia, mountain [E]momma,
Take me [D9]home[E], country [A]roads.
(Verse)
[A]All my mem'ries, [F#m]gather 'round her,
[E/G#]Miner's lady, [D9]stranger to blue [F#m]water. [A]
Dark and dusty, [F#m]painted on the sky,
[E]Misty taste of moonshine, [D9]teardrop in my [A]eye.
(Chorus)
[A]Country roads, take me [E]home,
To the [F#m7]place I [D9]belong:
West [A]Virginia, mountain [E]momma,
Take me [D9]home[E], country [A]roads.
[F#m] oh take me [E]home [D]
(Bridge)
[F#m]I hear her [E/G#]voice, in the [A]mornin' hours she calls me,
The [D]radio [A]reminds me of my [E/G#]home far away.
And [F#m]drivin' down the [G]road,
I get a [D]feelin' that I
[A]should have been home [E]yesterday,
[E/G#]yesterday.
(Chorus)
Country [A]roads, take me [E]home,
To the [F#m]place I [D]belong:
[E]West [A]Virginia, mountain [E]momma,
take me [D]home, [E]country [A]roads.
Country [A]roads, take me [E/G#]home,
To the [F#m]place I [D]belong:
[E]West [A]Virginia, mountain [E/G#]momma,
take me [D]home[E], country [A]roads.
[A] [F#m] [E] [D] [A]
(Outro)
Take me [E]home, country [A]roads.
Take me [E]home, down country [A]roads.
