Take Me Home, Country Roads
by John Denver
 
Capo 2
 
 
[Intro]
G  G/D  x4
 
[Verse 1]
G              Em             D                       C          G
  Almost Heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River.
G                    Em                    D                           C
  Life is old there, older than the trees, younger than the mountains, growin' 
         G
like a breeze.
 
[Chorus]
        G              D            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.
 
[Verse 2]
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.
 
[Chorus]
        G              D            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.
 
[Bridge]
Em          D/F#          G
 I hear her voice, in the mornin' hour she calls me.
    C       G              D
The radio reminds me of my home far away.
    Em               F            C              G
And drivin' down the road I get a feelin' that I should have been home 
D                D7
yesterday, yesterday.
 
[Chorus]
        G              D            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              D            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.
 
[Outro]
        D                    G
Take me home, (down) country roads.
        D                    G
Take me home, (down) country roads.

This tab is great, but there is one thing you should know. The recording sounds in the key of A, so a capo should be placed at the second fret in order to transpose the song to the right key. So add the capo, and keep the chords, excellent job though!

good tab, but as vanhalen said its the key of A so put a capo on the the 2nd fret....and in the 3rd verse im pretty sure theres an F Chord somewhere in there....i could be wrong so just look at it
