Tuning: G C E A
This is Israel's version of Country Roads (without all the finger picking and other instruments).
I put this together because I had been trying to learn this with a window with lyrics and a window
with the chords-- that's confusing. Hopefully this helps someone who really likes this version of
the song but finds learning it a little frustrating!
Enjoy!
[Verse]
CAlmost Heaven, AmWest Makaha,
Ghigh-ridge mountain, Fcrystal-clear blue Cwater.
All my friends there Amhanging on da beach,
Gyoung and old among them,
Ffeel the ocean Cbreeze.
[Chorus]
CCountry road, take me Ghome,
to the pAmlace I beFlong,
West CMakaha, Mount GKa'ala.
Oh, take me Fhome, oh, country Croad.
[Bridge]
AmI heard a Gvoice,
in the Cmorning calm, she calls me,
Fas though to Cremind me of my GHome far away.
AmDriving down the A#road,
I feel the FSpirit coming toC me,
from yGesterday, yeG7sterday.
[Verse]
CAll my memories Amhold Heaven on high,
Gbrown-skinned woman, Fclear blue islandC sky.
Daytime sunshine, Amoo-ooh so bright,
Gmidnight moon a-glowing, Fstars up in the Csky.
[Chorus]
CCountry road, take me Ghome,
to the pAmlace I beFlong,
West CMakaha, Mount GKa'ala.
Oh, take me Fhome, oh, country Croad.
[Bridge]
AmI heard a Gvoice,
in the Cmorning calm, she calls me,
FWe driving doCwn the road, I fGeel the Spirits coming to me,
of yGesterday, yG7esterday.
[Verse]

Feating fish strCaight from the sea.
