G# Fm
Almost heaven West Jamaica

True ridge mountains

Shining down the River

All my friends there

Older than those ridge

Younger than the mountains

Blowin' like a breeze

To the place I belong

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

Country roads take me home
Fm C#
To the place I belong
