Al most heav en,

West Vir gin ia,

Blue Ridge Moun tains, (F)Shen an do ah (C)Riv er.

Life is old there, (Am)old er than the trees,

(G)young er than the moun tains, (F)grow in’ like a (C)breeze.

Coun try (C)roads

take me (G)home

to the (Am)place

I be (F)long:

West Vir (C)gin ia,

take me (F)home,

coun try (C)roads.

All my mem ’ries

gath er ’round her,

Dark and dust y, (Am)paint ed on the sky,

(G)mist y taste of moon shine, (F)tear drop in my (C)eye.

Coun try (C)roads
