Song:

TAKE ME HOME, COUNTRY ROADS

 

I transformed the refrain and the strophe III in

the lower octave. So it’s the same melody, but it’s

easier to play and it’s more pleasant for your ears.

Have a big kick!

 

I.

6   6    -6  6   -6   6  -6  7

Al-most heav-en West Vir-gin-ia

 

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

Blue ridge moun-tains Shen-an-do-ah Riv-er

 

 6   6  -6    6   -6  7    7  -8    8

Life is old there old-er than the trees

 

  -8  -8  -8  -8   8   -8

Young-er than the moun-tains

 

 -6   7   7  -8   7

Grow-in' like a breeze

 

 

II. (Refrain)

 4   -4    5    5   4  -4

Coun-try Roads take me home

 

 5 -4    4   5  6 -6

to the place I be-long

 

 -6  -6   6  5   5    4   -4 5  

West Vir-gin-ia moun-tain ma-ma

 

 5   -4  4    4   -4    4 

take me home coun-try roads

 

 

I.

All my mem'ries gather ‘round her

Miner's lady stranger to blue water

dark and dusty painted on the skies

misty taste of moonshine

teardrop in my eyes

 

II. (Refrain)

 

III.

4  4    4   -3   4  -4   5    5    5

I hear her voice in the morn-ing hours

 

 5  5 -4  4

she calls me

 

 4  -5 -5 -5  -5  -5   5

the ra-di- o  re-minds me 

 

-4 4  -4    5  5 -4

of my home far a-way

 

-4   5   5    5    5   -4 -4 -4 -4  4    4  

and driv-in' down the road I get a feel-ing

 

 4   4   4     4    4    4   -4   5  -4

that I should have been home yes-ter-day

 

-4   5  -5

yes-ter-day

 

II. (Refrain)
