    I tried to put some of the cords to lyrics, I may have made a few mistakes but I thought I would share them anyway just in case someone was searching :)
    I hope you all have a great time playing!!!!!
    Intro: G
    Gm Em
    Almost heaven, West Virginia
    D C
    Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
    G Em
    Life is old there, older than the trees
    D C G
    Younger than the mountains, blowing like the breeze
    G D
    Country roads, take me home
    E C
    To the place I belong
    G D
    West Virginia, mountain mama
    C G
    Take me home, country roads
    G Em
    All my memories gather round her
    D C
    Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
    G G
    Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
    Em C G
    Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye
    G D
    Country roads, take me home
    E C
    To the place I belong
    G D
    West Virginia, mountain mama
    C G
    Take me home, country roads
    Em D G
    I hear her voice, in the morning hour she calls me
    C G D
    The radio reminds me of my home far away
    Em F C
    And driving down the road I get a feeling
    G D D7
    That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday
    G D
    Country roads, take me home
    E C
    To the place I belong
    G D
    West Virginia, mountain mama
    C G
    Take me home, country roads
    G D
    Country roads, take me home
    E C
    To the place I belong
    G D
    West Virginia, mountain mama
    C G
    Take me home, country roads
    C G
    Take me home, down country roads
    C G
    Take me home, down country roads
