John Denver skrev denne smukke country ballade om sit hjemsted i Aspen, Rocky Mountains. Vedlagt er en tekstfil med akkorder og sang til Country roads. Tabs og noder til fingerstyle udgaven er i pdf dokumentet.
Jeg bruger her en fingerstyle teknik hvor jeg anslår rytmen med pegefinger og spiller bas med tommelfinger. Melodien spiller jeg med pege og langfinger og engang imellem mellemtoner med ringfinger. For at spille fingerstyle udgaven er det en god ide at øve sige på akkorderne først.
A F#m
Almost heaven, West Virginia,
E D A
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River.
F#m
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,
F#m D
To the place I belong:
A E
West Virginia, mountain momma,
D A
Take me home, country roads.
A F#m
All my mem'ries, gather 'round her,
E D A
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water.
F#m
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,
F#m D
To the place I belong:
A E
West Virginia, mountain momma,
D A
Take me home, country roads.
F#m 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.
F#m 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,
F#m 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,
F#m 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.
