Take Me Home, Country Roads tab
John Denver's iconic song, in which you have to pay attention to the nuances. While the BhBHBhBH strumming pattern may seem basic, you need to alternate the bass played with your thumb, as in the intro (on the A chord), where the open A and E strings are played alternately.
