_ _ [N] _ _ Hi, this is Jenny from 21 Songs in 6 Days and I'm here to teach you Take Me Home Country
Roads by John Denver.
And I'm choosing in this song to [G] do two different patterns with my strumming or with my accompaniment.
In the verse I'm going to be doing a finger picking.
So that's going to be [C] out, out, two outer strings using the thumb in the middle.
Out, out, and then three in the middle.
In, in, in, in, in, out, out, in, in, in, in.
_ _ If you can't do that just strum four _ downs.
_ _ So it'll sound like this. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Almost heaven, _ _ [Am] _ _ _ _
West Virginia.
[C] Because there's some of that in the song when he sings it.
And then when you get to country _ roads, [G] take me home, it's going to be down, down, up,
up, down, up.
Now [N] it's not the chords that are hard in this song, it's more the verses and the words,
the melody, the rhythm.
_ And it was certainly a song that stayed at the top of the charts for a long time, which
usually means it's a pretty good song, which means it's not so easy to cover. _
The chords [C] in this song are just the four chords we often use in pop.
_ [F] C, [G] F, G, [Am] and A minor.
It's a beautiful progression.
It works in probably, according to Wikipedia, about 165 songs in the past 50 years.
And most of them were [C] hits, so it's really fun to play.
So here we go, take me home, country roads. _ _ _ _ _ _

stranger [C] to blue water. _ _
