(Take Me Home) Country Roads - Toots and the Maytals
Tabbed by: Bumcivilian
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.
G#Almost heaven,Fm West Jamaica,
D#True ridge mountains
C#Shining down the G#River.
G#All my friends there,
FmOlder than those ridge,
D#Younger than the mountains,
C#Blowin' like a G#breeze
G#Country roads, take meD# home,
To the Fmplace I beC#long:
West JaG#maica, my ol' D#mama,
Take me C#home, country G#roads.
FmI heard her D#voice
In the G#mornin' hour she Fmcalls me,
Said &C#quot;Son, yG#ou remind me oD#f my home far away,"
And G#drivin' down the D#road I feel a C#sickness, I sure did,
Oh D#yesterday, yesterday.
G#All my memories, Fmoh, gathered 'round her,
D#My old lady, C#stranger to the G#water.
G#Dark and dusty, Fmpainted on the sky,
D#Miss the taste of moonshine,
C#Tears gone from my G#eyes.
G#Country roads, take meD# home,
To the Fmplace I beC#long:
West JaG#maica, my my my D#mama,
Oh won't you take me go C#home, country G#roads.
Instrumental: (same as 1st and 3rd verse) G#---Fm---D#---C#-G#- x2
