Intro:
G# G#7 (x3), G# (n.C)
Verse 1:
G# Fm
Almost heaven, West Jamaica,
D# C# G#
True Ridge Mountains, shining down the river.
G# Fm
All my friends there, holding on those ridge,
D# C# G#
Younger than the mountain, blowin' like a breeze.
Chorus 1:
G# D# C#
Country roads take me home, to the place I belong.

West Jamaica, my ol' Mama ma ma, take me home, country roads.
Verse 2:
G# D# G# Fm
I heard her voice; in the mornin' hour she calls me.
C# G# D#
Said; "son you re-mind me of my home far away".
G# D# C#
Drivin' down the road, I feel a sickness, I sure did,
D#
Oh yes-terday, yesterday.
Verse 3:
G# Fm
All my memories all gather 'round her,
D# C# G#
Mama Lady, stranger to the water.
G# Fm
Dark and dusky painted on the sky,
D# C# G#
Misty taste of moonshine, tears gone from my eye.
Chorus 2:
G# D# C#
Country roads take me home, to the place I belong.

West Jamaica, my ol' Mama ma ma,
C# G#
Won't you let me go home, country roads?
