I'll start with a classic we can all sing — John Denver's ‘Country Roads.’
| G | Em |
| Almost heaven | West Virginia |
| D7 | C | G |
| Blue Ridge Mountains | Shenandoah | River |
| Em |
| Life is old there | older than the trees |
| D7 | C | G |
| Younger than the mountains | growin’ like a | breeze |
| D7 |
| Country Roads take me | home |
| Em | C |
| To the place I be | long |
| G | D7 |
| West Virginia mountain | momma |
| C | G |
| Take me home country | roads |
|
| Em |
| All my memories | gathered ‘round her |
| D7 | C | G |
| Miner’s lady | stranger to blue | water |
| Em |
| Dark and dusty | painted on the sky |
| D7 | C | G |
| Misty taste of moonshine | teardrops in my | eye |
| D7 |
| Country Roads take me | home |
| Em | C |
| To the place I be | long |
| G | D7 |
| West Virginia mountain | momma |
| C | G |
| Take me home country | roads |
|
| Em | D7 | G | Em |
| I hear her | voice in the | mornin’ hour she | calls me |
| C | Em | D7 |
| The radio re | minds me of my | home far away |
| Em | F | C |
| And | drivin’ down the | road I get a | feelin’ |
| G | D7 | D7 |
| That I | should have been home | yesterday yesterday | |
| D7 |
| Country Roads take me | home |
| Em | C |
| To the place I be | long |
| G | D7 |
| West Virginia mountain | momma |
| C | G |
| Take me home country | roads |
|
| D7 |
| Country Roads take me | home |
| Em | C |
| To the place I be | long |
| G | D7 |
| West Virginia mountain | momma |
| C | G |
| Take me home country | roads |
|
| D | G |
| Take me home country | roads |
| D | G |
| Take me home country | roads |
