[Verse]
G                        Em
Almost Heaven, West Makaha,
D                               C                          G
high-ridge mountain, crystal-clear blue water.
                                Em
All my friends there hanging on da beach,
D
young and old among them,
C                     G
feel the ocean breeze.

[Chorus]
G                                  D
Country road, take me home,
          Em       C
to the place I belong,
         G                        D
West Makaha, Mount Ka'ala.
               C                                 G
Oh, take me home, oh, country road.

[Bridge]
Em          D
I heard a voice,
          G
in the morning calm, she calls me,
      C             G                         D
as though to remind me of my Home far away.
Em                       F
Driving down the road,
               C            
I feel the Spirit coming to me,
         D                          D7
from yesterday, yesterday.

[Verse]
G                                 Em
All my memories hold Heaven on high,
D                                     C                        G
brown-skinned woman, clear blue island sky.
                                  Em
Daytime sunshine, oo-ooh so bright,
D                                       C                      G
midnight moon a-glowing, stars up in the sky.

[Chorus]
