Tabbed by: Bumcivilian
Played in a reggae style, with the chords on the off beat. Use barre chords.
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
