Verse:
C              Am
Almost Heaven, West Makaha,
G                    F                  C
high-ridge mountain, crystal-clear blue water.
C                    Am
All my friends there hanging on the beach,
G
young and old among them,
F              C
feel the ocean breeze.

Chorus:
        C             G
Country road, take me home,
        Am       F
to the place I belong,
       C              G
West Makaha, Mount Ka'ala.
            F                 C
Oh, take me home, oh, country road.

Bridge:
Am        G
I heard a voice,
       C
in the morning calm, she calls me,
   F           C             G
as though to remind me of my home far away.
Am               Bb
Driving down the road,
           F                C
I feel the Spirit coming to me,
     G                G7
from yesterday, yesterday.

Verse:
C               Am
All my memories hold Heaven on high,
G                    F                 C
brown-skinned woman, clear blue island sky.
C                 Am
Daytime sunshine, oo-ooh so bright,
G                        F               C
midnight moon a-glowing, stars up in the sky.

Chorus:
        C             G
Country road, take me home,
        Am       F
to the place I belong,
       C              G
West Makaha, Mount Ka'ala.
        F                           C
Take me home, take me home, country road.

Bridge:
Am        G
I hear a voice,
       C
in the morning calm, she's calling,
   F           C             G
as though to remind me of my home far away
   C                G                F
We driving down the road, I feel the Spirits coming to me,
   G                G7
of yesterday, yesterday.

Almost Heaven, West Makaha,

All my friends there sitting on the beach,

eating fish straight from the sea.
