...COUNTRY ROADS... by Toots & The Maytals
-------------------.......................
*from 'Funky Kingston' (1973)*
Intro:
Ab Ab7 (x3), Ab (n.C)
Verse 1:
Almost heaven, West Jamaica,
True Ridge Mountains, shining down the river.
All my friends there, holding on those ridge,
Younger than the mountain, blowin' like a breeze.
Chorus 1:
Country roads take me home, to the place I belong.
West Jamaica, my ol' Mama ma ma, take me home, country roads.
Verse 2:
I heard her voice; in the mornin' hour she calls me.
Said; "son you re-mind me of my home far away".
Drivin' down the road, I feel a sickness, I sure did,
Oh yes-terday, yesterday.
Verse 3:
All my memories all gather 'round her,
Mama Lady, stranger to the water.
Dark and dusky painted on the sky,
Misty taste of moonshine, tears gone from my eye.
Chorus 2:
Country roads take me home, to the place I belong.
West Jamaica, my ol' Mama ma ma,
Won't you let me go home, country roads?
Interlude:
Ab Fm, Eb C# Ab (x2)
Chorus 3:
Country roads take me home, to the place I belong.
West Jamaica, my ol' Mama ma ma, take me home, country roads.
Chorus 4:
Country roads take me home, to the place I belong.
West Jamaica, my ol' Mama ma ma, take me home, country roads.
(Repeat to Fade)
