(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#            Fm            
Almost heaven, West Jamaica,
D#                  
True ridge mountains
C#               G#    
Shining down the River.
G#                   
All my friends there,
Fm                     
Older than those ridge,
D#                         
Younger than the mountains,
C#             G#    
Blowin' like a breeze
G#                    D#    
Country roads, take me home,
       Fm        C#   
To the place I belong:
       G#            D#   
West Jamaica, my ol' mama,
        C#            G#    
Take me home, country roads.
Fm          D#   
I heard her voice
       G#               Fm       
In the mornin' hour she calls me,
      C#         G#            D#             
Said "Son, you remind me of my home far away,"
    G#               D#            C#                   
And drivin' down the road I feel a sickness, I sure did,
   D#                   
Oh yesterday, yesterday.
G#               Fm                      
All my memories, oh, gathered 'round her,
D#           C#              G#    
My old lady, stranger to the water.
G#              Fm                 
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky,
D#                          
Miss the taste of moonshine,
C#                 G#   
Tears gone from my eyes.
G#                    D#    
Country roads, take me home,
       Fm        C#   
To the place I belong:
       G#              D#   
West Jamaica, my my my mama,
                        C#            G#    
Oh won't you take me go home, country roads.
Instrumental: (same as 1st and 3rd verse) G#---Fm---D#---C#-G#- x2
