Take Me Home.
Emmylou Harris & Brandi Carlile.
Album: The Music Is You. (Tribute)
(The State song, but in a
conversation with Tom O'Donnell
a native from Morgantown W.V. who
has a home here in the U.K. I was
surprised to learn neither the
Blue Ridge Mountains or the
Shenandoah are in West Virginia.)
Intro: F
F Dm
Almost heaven, West Virginia,
C Bb F
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River,
F Dm
Life is old there, older than the trees,
C Bb f
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze.
Chorus:
C
Country roads, take me home,
Dm F Bb
To the place where I belong,
F C
West Virginia, Mountain Mama,
Bb F
Take me home, country roads.
F Dm
All my memories, gathered 'round her,
C Bb F
Miners lady, stranger to blue water,
F Dm
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky,
C Bb F
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrops in my eye.
Chorus:
C
Country roads, take me home,
Dm F Bb
To the place where I belong,
F C
West Virginia, Mountain Mama,
Bb F
Take me home, country roads.
Acapella:
n/c
I hear her voice, in the morning light she calls me,
n/c
The radio reminds me of my home far away,
n/c
And driving down the road I get a feeling,
n/c
Like I should have been home yesterday, yesterday.
Chorus:
C
Country roads, take me home,
Dm F Bb
To the place where I belong,
F C
West Virginia, Mountain Mama,
Bb F
Take me home, country roads.
Acapella:
n/c
Country roads, take me home,
n/c
To the place where I belong,
n/c
West Virginia, Mountain Mama,
Bb F
Take me home, country roads.
C
Take me home,
Dm F Bb
To the place where I belong,
F C
West Virginia, Mountain Mama,
Bb F
Take me home, on a country road,
C F
Take me home, down a country road,
C F
Won't you take me home, down a country road.
