Take Me Home Country Roads by Toots And The Maytals
Take Me Home Country Roads
A F#m
Almost heaven, West Jamaica
E D A
True Ridge Mountains, Shining down the River
A F#m
All my friends there, holding on those ridge
E
Younger than the mountain
D
Blowin' like a breeze
Chorus:
A E
Country roads take me home
F#m D
To the place I belong
A E
West Jamaica, My ol' Mama ma ma
D A
Take me home country roads
Yo wait a minute
A
I heard her voice
F#m
In the mornin' hour she calls me
E D
Said son you remind me of my home far away
A F#m
drivin' down the road I feel a sickness, I should have bin'
E D
home yesterday, yesterday
A F#m
All my memories all gather 'round her
E D A
My old Lady, stanger to the water
A F#m
Dark and dusky painted on the sky
E
Misty taste of moonshine
D A
Tears gone from my eye
Chorus:
A E
Country roads take me home
F#m D
To the place I belong
A E
West Jamaica, My ol' Mama ma ma
D A
Won't you let me go home country roads

version 2
Played in a reggae style, with the chords on the off beat. Use barre chords.
You could use a capo on fret 1, and play G, Em, D, C, etc., but I prefer to use
barre chords for the beat.
Intro: G# You can also play the low E string, 4th fret, tremolo.
