My arrangement, for solo 4-string electric bass guitar, of John Denver's country classic, Take Me Home, Country Roads.
Take Me Home, Country Roads, also known simply as Take Me Home or Country Roads, is a song written by Bill Danoff, Taffy Nivert, and John Denver about West Virginia. It was released as a single performed by Denver on April 12, 1971, peaking at number two on Billboard's US Hot 100 singles for the week ending August 28, 1971. The song was a success on its initial release and was certified Gold by the RIAA on August 18, 1971, and Platinum on April 10, 2017. The song became one of John Denver's most popular and beloved songs. It has continued to sell, with over 1.6 million digital copies sold in the United States. It is considered to be Denver's signature song, and is widely regarded as one of his best songs of all time.

The song has a prominent status as an iconic symbol of West Virginia, which it describes as "Almost Heaven". In March 2014, it became one of the four official state anthems of West Virginia.

The song has been covered by numerous artists, including Ray Charles, Toots & The Maytals and Lynn Anderson, and it featured prominently in the soundtrack to the video game Fallout 76.
