[End] [Solo - USING DROP D SO SOLO IN D WORKS BETTER IF HIT LOWER STRINGS - AND G IS GOOD AS WELL] (when playing D - can add lots of extra runs in Bm pentatonic) E x---X--- B 10--8--- G 7---7---- D 7---5---- A 0---5---- E 0---5---- Can also play notes whilst droning low D E X----------------------------------- mute with finger playing B string - angle finger over B 10-8-7--5--etc------------------------- G 7-----------------------------------mute with finger playing B string - angle finger over D 0----------------------------------- A 0----------------------------------- E 0-----------------------------------mute with thumb over top Can also play diads as well
[Intro - Capo 2 - BPM 88] G G/D x4 - arpeggio - play G string with thumb, B and E with first and second fingers then play D string thumb with thumb - repeat pattern (sort of) for all other chords OR JUST DOWNPICK THE BASS NOTE WITH FIRST FINGER JUST USING A PLECTRUM THEN STRUM THE REST OF THE CHORD WHILST PLAYING THE SNARE - WITH EACH CHORD PLAY ROOT THEN 5TH AFTER - SO WITH C YOU ARE PLAYING C/G EVERY SECOND BASS NOTE - SOUNDS GOOD
[Verse 1 - Finger pick with bass drum on all quarter notes - Root to 5th where possible] (Finger picking pattern is pama - play just 2 treble strings in up up down pattern) [G] Almost Heaven [Em] , West Virginia [D] Blue Ridge Mountains, [C] Shenandoah [G] River. [G] Life is old there, [Em] older than the trees, [D] younger than the mountains, [C] blowin' like a [G] breeze.
[Chorus - Strum with bass drum and full snare - 2/4 - Bass note Root to 5th where possible] Country [G] Roads, take me [D7] home, to the [Em] place I be [C] long West Vir [G] ginia, mountain [D] mama, take me [C] home, country [G] roads.
[Verse 2 - Slap snare so gentler feel] [G] All my memories [Em] gather 'round her [D] , miner's lady, [C] stranger to blue [G] water. [G] Dark and dusty, [Em] painted on the sky, [D] misty taste of moonshine, [C] teardrop in my [G] eye.
[Chorus] Country [G] Roads, take me [D7] home, to the [Em] place I be [C] long West Vir [G] ginia, mountain [D] mama, take me [C] home, country [G] roads.
[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] Country [G] Roads, take me [D7] home, to the [Em] place I be [C] long West Vir [G] ginia, mountain [D] mama, take me [C] home, country [G] roads.
[Chorus] Country [G] Roads, take me [D7] home, to the [Em] place I be [C] long West Vir [G] ginia, mountain [D] mama, take me [C] home, country [G] roads.
