(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]
Ab
You can also play the low E string, 4th fret, tremolo.
[Verse]
Ab Fm
Almost heaven, West Jamaica,
Eb
True ridge mountains
Db Ab
Shining down the River.
Ab
All my friends there,
Fm
Older than those ridge,
Eb
Younger than the mountains,
Db Ab
Blowin' like a breeze
[Chorus]
Ab Eb
Country roads, take me home,
Db
To the place I belong:
Ab Eb
West Jamaica, my ol' mama,
Db Ab
Take me home, country roads.
[Bridge]
Fm Eb
I heard her voice
Ab Fm
In the mornin' hour she calls me,
Db Ab Eb
Said "Son, you remind me of my home far away,"
Ab Eb Db
And drivin' down the road I feel a sickness, I sure did,
Eb
Oh yesterday, yesterday.
[Verse]
Ab Fm
All my memories, oh, gathered 'round her,
Eb Db Ab
My old lady, stranger to the water.
Ab Fm
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky,
Eb
Miss the taste of moonshine,
Db Ab
Tears gone from my eyes.
[Chorus]
Ab Eb
Country roads, take me home,
Db
To the place I belong:
Ab Eb
West Jamaica, my my my mama,
Db Ab
Oh won't you take me go home, country roads.
[Instrumental] (same as verse)
Ab Fm Eb Db Ab x2
Repeat chorus until fade.
