TAKE ME HOME, COUNTRY ROADS Time: 2/2 Tenor: G Bass: C Class: G
1 * 6m *
.... Almost heaven, .... West Vir-ginia

Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze

Country roads___, take me home___

To the place___, I be-long___

West Vir-gin-ia___, mountain momma___
4 * 1 * *
Take me home___, Country Roads___
1 * 6m *
.... All my mem'ries, gather 'round her
5 * 4 1
.... Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
* * 6m *
.... Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
5 * 4 1
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
6m 5 1 *
.. I hear her voice, in the mornin' hours she calls to me
4 1 57 *
