John Denver
Take Me Home, Country Roads
Poems, Prayers And Promises (1971)

A

A              F♯m
Almost heaven, West Virginia
E                     D          A
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River

A                  F♯m
Life is old there, older than the trees
E                          D              A
Younger than the mountains growin' like a breeze

          A              E
  Country roads, take me home
         F♯m       D
  To the place I belong
          A               E
  West Virginia, mountain momma
          D             A
  Take me home, country roads

All my memories gather 'round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water

Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye

  Refrain

F♯m        E             A      
I hear her voice, in the mornin' hours she calls me
    D       A              E
The radio reminds me of my home far away
    F♯m              G            D              A
And drivin' down the road I get a feelin' that I should have been home
E                E7   (stop)
Yesterday, yesterday

  Refrain  x 2

          E             A
  Take me home, country roads
          E             A      g♯ A7
  Take me home, country roads
