Country Roads chords by Ben E. King

*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.
