(Take Me Home) Country Roads - Toots and the Maytals
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
Ab Fm
Almost heaven, West Jamaica,
Eb
True ridge mountains
C# Ab
Shining down the River.
Ab
All my friends there,
Fm
Older than those ridge,
Eb
Younger than the mountains,
C# Ab
Blowin' like a breeze
Ab Eb
Country roads, take me home,
Fm C#
To the place I belong:
Ab Eb
West Jamaica, my ol' mama,
C# Ab
Take me home, country roads.
Fm Eb
I heard her voice
Ab Fm
In the mornin' hour she calls me,
C# Ab Eb
Said "Son, you remind me of my home far away,"
Ab Eb C#
And drivin' down the road I feel a sickness, I sure did,
Eb
Oh yesterday, yesterday.
Ab Fm
All my memories, oh, gathered 'round her,
Eb C# Ab
My old lady, stranger to the water.
Ab Fm
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky,
Eb
Miss the taste of moonshine,
C# Ab
Tears gone from my eyes.
Ab Eb
Country roads, take me home,
Fm C#
To the place I belong:
Ab Eb
West Jamaica, my my my mama,
C# Ab
Oh won't you take me go home, country roads.
