TAKE ME HOME COUNTRY ROADS - JOHN DENVER
Beginner’s Course Grade 1, Module 6
This is an amazing song. The chords are relatively simple and there are several different approaches that you can take with the rhythm, presenting you with an opportunity to really make this song your own. And just like the other songs I feature on this website, this is a song that can grow with you as your guitar playing abilities improve. You can start off playing an easy version and then introduce one or more of the trickier approaches as you feel ready. I hope you enjoy playing it and add it to your repertoire.

To an extent you can make a few changes to these chords if you prefer. The D7 chord can be replaced by a D chord. The F can be a bar chord variant, an F Major 7 chord or even an Am chord if you are just starting out. The G can be any variant of G, either a 2-finger G chord, the 3-finger chord shown here, or a four-finger chord.
