John Denver – Cahoots: Jerry Eddy

[Verse 1] – – – – – – – [C] Almost Heaven, [Am] West Virginia, [G] Blue Ridge Mountains, [F] Shenandoah [C] River. [C] Life is old there, [Am] older than the trees, [G] younger than the mountains, [F] blowin’ like a [C] breeze.

[CHORUS] – – – – – [C] Country Roads, take me [G7] home, to the [Am] place I [F] belong. West [C] Virginia, mountain [G] mama, take me [F] home, country [C] roads.

[Verse 2] – – – – – – – [C] All my memories [Am] gather ’round her, [G] miner’s lady, [F] stranger to blue [C] water. [C] Dark and dusty, [Am] painted on the sky, [G] misty taste of moonshine, [F] teardrop in my [C] eye.

[CHORUS] – – – – –

[Bridge] – – – – – – – [Am] I hear her [G] voice, in the [C] mornin’ hour she calls me. [F] The radio re- [C] -minds me of my [G] home far away. And [Am] drivin’ down the [A#] road I get a [F] feelin’ that I [C] should have been home [G] yesterday, [G7] yesterday.

[CHORUS] – – – – – followed by [Outro]

Take me [G] home, [down] country [C] roads.

Take me [G] home, [down] country [C] roads.
