We've already created here tonight and do a song for you that Bill and Taffy and I wrote.
It was a very big hit record for us in the United States and it did very well for Olivia Newton-John over here.
It's called Take Me Home Country Roads.
[A]
Almost heaven, [F#m] West Virginia, [E] Blue Ridge Mountains, [D] [A] Shenandoah River.
Life is old [F#m] there, old in the [E] trees, young in the [D] mountains, growing [A] like a breeze.
Country roads, [E] take me home [F#m] to the place, [D] I belong.
[A] West Virginia, mountain [E] mama, [D] take me home.
[A] All my [F#m] memories gather round [E] her, fine as [D] lady, stranger [A] to blue water.
Dark and [F#m] dusty, painted on the [E] sky, misty taste of [D] moonshine, [A] teardrops in my eyes.
Country roads, [E] take me home [F#m] to the place, [D] I belong.
West [A] Virginia, [E] mountain mama, [D] take me home.
[A] Country roads,
[F#m] [E] [A] in the morning hour she calls [D] me.
[A] Radio reminds [E] me of my home far away.
[F#m] Driving [G] down the road I [D] get the feeling [A] that I should have [E] been home yesterday, yesterday.
[A] Country roads, [E] take me home [F#m] to the place, [D] I belong.
[A] West Virginia, [E]
[D] take me home [A]
[E]
[F#m] to the place.
[D]
[A] Virginia, [E]
[D] take me home, [A]
take [E] me home.
Country [A] roads, take [E] me home.
Country [A] roads.
