-------------------.........................
*from 'Funky Kingston' (1973)*
Intro:
G# G#7 (x3), G# (n.C)
Verse 1:
G# Almost Fmheaven, West Jamaica,
D# True Ridge Mountains, C#shining down the G#river.
G# All my friends there, Fm holding on those ridge,
D# Younger than the mountain, C#blowin' like a G#breeze.
Chorus 1:
Country G#roads take me D#home, to the C#place I belong.
West G#Jamaica, my ol' D#Mama ma ma, take me C#home, country G#roads.
Verse 2:
G# I heard her D#voice; in the G#mornin' hour she Fmcalls me.
Said; &C#quot;son yoG#u re-mind me oD#f my home far away".
G# Drivin' down the D#road, I feel a C#sickness, I sure did,
Oh yes-D#terday, yesterday.
Verse 3:
G# All my Fmmemories all gather 'round her,
D# Mama Lady, C#stranger to the G#water.
G# Dark and dusky Fmpainted on the sky,
D# Misty taste of moonshine, C#tears gone from my G#eye.
Chorus 2:
Country G#roads take me D#home, to the C#place I belong.
West G#Jamaica, my ol' D#Mama ma ma,
Won't you let me go C#home, country G#roads?
Interlude:
G# Fm, D# C# G# (x2)
Chorus 3:
Country G#roads take me D#home, to the C#place I belong.
West G#Jamaica, my ol' D#Mama ma ma, take me C#home, country G#roads.
Chorus 4:
Country G#roads take me D#home, to the C#place I belong.
West G#Jamaica, my ol' D#Mama ma ma, take me C#home, country G#roads.
