Product Description
"Take Me Home, Country Roads" was originally released as a single by John Denver in 1971. The song was an instant success, reaching number 2 on the Billboard charts and eventually becoming Denver's signature song and widely recognized as "one of the greatest songs of all time."

Maintaining the fun country groove, layered harmonies, guitar fills, and dynamic passion of the original, this chart is just as much fun to play as it is to listen to, and you're sure to get your audience singing along. Great for parties, corporate events, solo & ensemble contests, or just to play for fun, this chart is rated Intermediate and will be playable for students and easily sightreadable for professionals (watch out for some tricky rhythms in the violin parts!).
