Almost heaven  West Virginia
D7                    C          G
Blue Ridge Mountains  Shenandoah River
                                 Em
Life is old there older than the trees
D7                         C              G
Younger than the mountains growin’ like a breeze

Country Roads  take me home
Em             C
To the place I belong

West Virginia  mountain momma

                                Em
All my memories gathered ‘round her
D7            C                G
Miner’s lady  stranger to blue water
                               Em
Dark and dusty  painted on the sky
D7                       C               G
Misty taste of moonshine teardrops in my eye

Country Roads  take me home
Em             C
To the place I belong

West Virginia  mountain momma

Take me home  country roads

Verse 4

Em         D7            G                      Em
I hear her voice  in the mornin’ hour she calls me
C                 Em                D7
The radio reminds me of my home far away
    G                     D7      C
And drivin’ down the road I get a feelin’
       G                     D7         G
That I should have been home yesterday  yesterday

Country Roads  take me home
Em             C
To the place I belong

West Virginia  mountain momma

Take me home  country roads
