Verse 1:

Ab      Fm
 Almost heaven, West Jamaica,
Eb                     C#               Ab
 True Ridge Mountains, shining down the river.
Ab                     Fm
 All my friends there,  holding on those ridge,
Eb                          C#             Ab
 Younger than the mountain, blowin' like a breeze.

Chorus 1:

        Ab            Eb           C#
Country roads take me home, to the place I belong.
     Ab              Eb                  C#            Ab
West Jamaica, my ol' Mama ma ma, take me home, country roads.

Verse 2:

Ab           Eb            Ab               Fm
 I heard her voice; in the mornin' hour she calls me.
       C#         Ab            Eb
Said; "son you re-mind me of my home far away".
Ab                Eb             C#
 Drivin' down the road, I feel a sickness, I sure did,
       Eb
Oh yes-terday, yesterday.

Verse 3:

Ab      Fm
 All my memories all gather 'round her,
Eb          C#              Ab
 Mama Lady, stranger to the water.
Ab              Fm
 Dark and dusky painted on the sky,
Eb                         C#                 Ab
 Misty taste of moonshine, tears gone from my eye.

Chorus 2:

        Ab            Eb           C#
Country roads take me home, to the place I belong.
     Ab              Eb
West Jamaica, my ol' Mama ma ma,
                    C#            Ab
Won't you let me go home, country roads?

West Jamaica, my ol' Mama ma ma, take me home, country roads.

West Jamaica, my ol' Mama ma ma, take me home, country roads.
