G Em D C G

Almost Heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River.

Life is old there, older than the trees, younger than the mountains, blowin'

G

like a breeze.

G D7 Em C

Country Roads, take me home, to the place I belong

G D C G

West Virginia, mountain mama, take me home, country roads.

G Em D C G

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

G Em D C G

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

G D7 Em C

Country Roads, take me home, to the place I belong

West Virginia, mountain mama, take me home, country roads.

D D7

yesterday, yesterday.
