Take Me Home Country Roads John Denver Acoustic Cover w/ 12 String & Bluesharp

(c)1971 Words & Music Bill Danoff - Taffy Nivert - John Denver (R.I.P.)
On J.D.´s album "Poems, Prayers and Promises"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenadoah River
Life is old there older than the trees
Younger than the mountains growin´ like a breeze

#Country roads, take me home to the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain momma take me home, country roads [2nd time+

All my mem´ries gathered ´round her
Miner´s lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine teardrops in my eye#

+I hear a voice in the mornin´ hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And drivin´ down the road I get a feelin´
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday [harmonica break#
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harmonica key of D, played in the key of C (Capo 2)
Bass-Baritone register
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Country Roads in this song are in West Virginia, but Denver had never even been to West Virginia. Bill and Taffy Danoff started writing the song while driving to Maryland - they'd never been to West Virginia either! Danoff got his inspiration from postcards sent to him by a friend who DID live there.
The Shenandoah River is in West Virginia, running right through Harper's Ferry into the Potomac. The Blue Ridge Mountain Ranges run in a strip from northeast West Virginia to its southwest across the eastern part of the state. Clopper Road originates in Gaithersburg, Maryland. It was a single lane road, but is now a busy 4 lane road that heads to Germantown, Maryland. No country road anymore... not even close! It is attainable by exiting off of I-270 at Exit 10.
