Intro (0:00)
Verse 1 (0:06)
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue rich mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze
Chorus (0:30)
Country Roads, take me home, To the
Place I belong, West
Virginia, Mountain mama, take me
Home, Country roads
Verse 2 (0:54)
All my memories, 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
Chorus (1:18)
Country Roads, take me home, To the
Place I belong, West
Virginia, Mountain mama, take me
Home, Country roads
Verse 3 (1:42)
I hear her voice in the morning hours she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And driving’ down the road I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
Chorus (2:05)
Country Roads, take me home, To the
Place I belong, West
Virginia, Mountain mama, take me
Home, Country roads
Out Chorus (2:29)
Country Roads, take me home, To the
Place I belong, West
Virginia, Mountain mama, take me
Home, Country roads, take me
Home, Country roads, take me
Home, Country roads
Enjoy
James

A huge part of my playing is how I like to use 7th chords. I really like to emphasise the change from the major to the dominant 7th and sometimes use a 9th chord for the same purpose.
