Verse

6    6       -6   6       -6    6  -6   7 

Almost heaven, West Virginia 

 -8      -8       8   -8           -6  -6  -6   6  -6   7

Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River

6     6     -6     6       -6  7    7   8    8

Life is old there, older than the trees

-8     -8    -8     -8      8     -8          -6    7    7    -8     7

Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze



Chorus

7    -8     8        8      7     -8          8 -8    7       8   9  -10


Country roads, take me home to the place I belong

  -10     8  9  8       8      7      -8     8


West Virginia, mountain mamma

 8   -8  (8/) 7 7      7   -8    7 

Take me home, country roads



(Repeat verse)

Bridge

7    7    7      -7       7 -8   8    8         8        8    8 -8 (8/) 7

I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me
 

7    -9 -9 -9  -9 -9   8    -8    7   -8      8   8  -8

The radio reminds me of my home far away

-8       8   8       8       8      -8   -8 -8 -8    7    7  7  


And driving down the road I get a feeling that

7     7       7        7        7        -8  8  -8      -8   8  -9

I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
