Country Roads by Johnny Denver 
Verse1 
G            Em             D                    C 
Almost Heaven, West Virginia, blue ride mountain Shennandoah 
G 
River. 
                   Em                    D 
Life is old there, older than the trees, younger than the 
           C              G 
mountains, growing like a breeze 
 
Chorus 
        G             D          Em         C 
Country road, take me home, to a place, I belong. 
        G               D             C             G 
West Virginia, mountain mama, take me home, country road. 
 
 
All my memories, gather round her, miner's lady stranger to 
blue waters. 
Dark and dusty,painted on the sky,misty taste of moonshine,  
teardrops in her arms. 
 
CHORUS 
 
I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me. 
Radio reminds me of my home far away. 
Driving down the road, I get the feeling that I should've 
been home yesterday. Yesterday.
