Take Me Home Country Roads

lead vocals: Don

Paige: We want to thank you so much for being here with us today and appreciating this music. Now that we’re parents, we don’t get the opportunity to perform as much anymore. So this has been a huge treat for us, and we thank you for it! We’re going to sing one last song and it’s about going home, which we’re about to do- go back to the babies.

[Intro]
A  A/E  x4

[Verse 1]
A              F#m            E                       D          A
  Almost Heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River.
A                    F#m                   E                           D
  Life is old there, older than the trees, younger than the mountains, growin'
         A
like a breeze.

[Chorus]
        A              E            F#m       D
Country Roads, take me home, to the place I belong
        A               E             D             A
West Virginia, mountain mama, take me home, country roads.

[Verse 2]
A               F#m                E               D                A
 All my memories  gather 'round her, miner's lady, stranger to blue water.
A                 F#m                 E                         D              A
  Dark and dusty, painted on the sky, misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye.

[Chorus]
        A              E            F#m       D
Country Roads, take me home, to the place I belong
        A               E             D             A
West Virginia, mountain mama, take me home, country roads.

[Bridge]
F#m         E/G#          A
 I hear her voice, in the mornin' hour 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
yesterday, yesterday.

[Chorus]
        A              E            F#m       D
Country Roads, take me home, to the place I belong
        A               E             D             A
West Virginia, mountain mama, take me home, country roads.

        A              E            F#m       D
Country Roads, take me home, to the place I belong
        A               E             D             A
West Virginia, mountain mama, take me home, country roads.

[Outro]
        E                    A
Take me home, (down) country roads.
        E                    A
Take me home, (down) country roads.
