Tabbed by: Bumcivilian


Played in a reggae style, with the chords on the off beat. Use barre chords.
You could use a capo on fret 1, and play G, Em , D, C, etc., but I prefer to use 
barre chords for the beat.

Intro: G# You can also play the low E string, 4th fret, tremolo.

Ab5            F5
Almost heaven, West Jamaica,
Eb5
True ridge mountains
C#5               Ab5
Shining down the River.
Ab5  
All my friends there,
F5
Older than those ridge,
Eb5
Younger than the mountains,
C#5             Ab5
Blowin' like a breeze

Ab5                    Eb5
Country roads, take me home,
       F5        C#5 
To the place I belong:
       Ab5            Eb5
West Jamaica, my ol' mama,
        C#5            Ab5
Take me home, country roads.

F5          Eb5
I heard her voice
       Ab5               F5
In the mornin' hour she calls me,
      C#5         Ab5            Eb5
Said "Son, you remind me of my home far away,"
    Ab5               Eb5            C#5
And drivin' down the road I feel a sickness, I sure did,
   Eb5
Oh yesterday, yesterday.

Ab5               F5
All my memories, oh, gathered 'round her,
Eb5           C#5              Ab5
My old lady, stranger to the water.
Ab5              F5
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky,
Eb5
Miss the taste of moonshine,
C#5                 Ab5
Tears gone from my eyes.

Ab5                    Eb5
Country roads, take me home,
       F5        C#5 
To the place I belong:
       Ab5              Eb5
West Jamaica, my my my mama,
                        C#5            Ab5
Oh won't you take me go home, country roads.
