Intro: A A Gbm Almost heaven, West Virginia, E D A Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River. Gbm Life is old there, older than the trees, E D A Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze. A E Country roads, take me home, Gbm D To the place I belong: A E West Virginia, mountain momma, D A Take me home, country roads. A Gbm All my mem'ries, gather 'round her, E D A Miner's lady, stranger to blue water. Gbm Dark and dusty, painted on the sky, E D A Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye. A E Country roads, take me home, Gbm D To the place I belong: A E West Virginia, mountain momma, D A Take me home, country roads. Gbm E A I hear her voice, in the mornin' hours she calls me, D A E The radio reminds me of my home far away. Gbm G And drivin' down the road, D A E I get a feelin' that I should have been home yesterday, E7 yesterday. A E Country roads, take me home, Gbm D To the place I belong: A E West Virginia, mountain momma, D A take me home, country roads. A E Country roads, take me home, Gbm D To the place I belong: A E West Virginia, mountain momma, D A take me home, country roads. E A Take me home, country roads. E A Take me home, down country roads. This arrangement is its contributor’s own interpretation, shared for private study, education and non-commercial use.

How to play Take Me Home, Country Roads on ukulele
Take Me Home, Country Roads runs on one pattern: d – d u – u d u. The groove sits around 85 bpm, a medium pace. I posted this one in its original key of A major. The fretting hand earns its keep in this one: I have the chords at the proficient level. An easy island strum carries the campfire singalong.

I did +3 and it sounded great and was super easy! Definitely recommend that.
Strum pattern?
i wish this wasn’t such a meme, it’s a really nice song
-7 is really pretty if you’re looking for an alto-appropriate version!

Someone’s nose,
Make a hose.
For my rakes,
And my hoes.

Hillside reindeer.
Someone’s nose,
Make a hose…
kingsmen anyone?
If the chords are to hard just transpose it to -2 and put a capo on the second fret. 🙂
Actually from West Virginia, and I did it in -2 and changed the way I sang some parts and I’m proud of myself. I wish people would have taken interest in my state and in this song before Fallout 76.
instead for the chorus i played C, G, C, F, C, G, F, C
-2 is a lot easier and it sounds a lot better too. Also, the best strum is the island strum (d-du-udu)
Nice
