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.
