[Bridge]
[Em] I hear her [D/F#] voice, in the 
[G] mornin' hour she calls me.
The [C] radio re [G] minds me of my [D] home far away.
And [Em] drivin' down the [F] road I get a 
[C] feelin' that I [G] should have been home 
[D] yesterday, yester [D7] day.
 
[Chorus]

to the [Em] place I be [C] long

take me [C] home, country [G] roads.
 
[Outro]
Take me [D] home, (down) country [G] roads.
Take me [D] home, (down) country [G] roads.

Earth Wind And Fire-September

 Verse 1
          Dmaj7  C#m7
Do you remember 
    Bm7  F#m7       Dmaj7  C#m7
the 21st night of September?
         Bm7          F#m7         Dmaj7  C#m7 
Love was changing the minds of pretenders
       Bm7        Fm7    G/A
While chasing the clouds away

Verse 2 (DM7 - C#m7 - Bm7 - F#m7     G/A)
Our hearts were ringing
In the key that our souls were singing.
As we danced in the night,
Remember how the stars stole the night away

Chorus
Bm7   E7   C#m7          F#m7
Ba de ya - say do you remember
Bm7   E7   C#m7          F#m7
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Bm7   E7   C#m7          F#m7     G/A
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day

Verse 3 (DM7 - C#m7 - Bm7 - F#m7     G/A)
My thoughts are with you
Holding hands with your heart to see you
Only blue talk and love,
Remember how we knew love was here to stay

Verse 4 (DM7 - C#m7 - Bm7 - F#m7     G/A)
Now December found the love that we shared in September.
Only blue talk and love,
Remember the true love we share today

[Chorus x 2]
