My son is off to WVU in the fall and I would love to be able to play for him John Denver's Take Me Home, Country Roads. Any chance that song may be added to the song list in the future?

Guitar Tricks require song request submissions here Ken. GL.
In the interim.
Good song. Single guitar campfire strumming version is pretty easy, the steady rhythm giving it a country inflection notwithstanding. Two all open chord progressions in the verse and chorus, & a bridge. The late JD's incredible vocal OTOH....."oh my!".
Campfire version, just quickly by ear.
In key of G, moderate tempo, 'countrify' the strum
Verse G-Em-D-C-G (repeat twice)
Chorus G-D-C-Am G-D-C-G
Bridge. Equally easy chords, albeit slightly more challenging in transition timing and the change from Em to F.
Em-D-G-C-G-D Em-F-C-G-D-D7
Just get stuck in and give it a go. Comes easily with the usual repetition. Have fun.
