Rootless

      Em    G        Am
I'm a cloud drifting by
         Em    G        Am
Dripping tears from the sky
      Em        G     Am
I'm a snail without a shell
      Em     G      Am
Leper with a golden bell


         Em  G      Am
I've got nowhere to go
      Em        G      Am
I'm a stray cat on the roam
        Em   G       Am
Choking on a chicken bone
      Em          G        Am
For a home sweet, no sweet home


      C           G           D
For a root, for a leaf, for a branch,
      Em
for a tree
        C            G           D
For something, somebody that remind
           B7
ed them of me


Em      G       Am           D
Running with my roots pulled up
Em        G       Am         D
Caught me cold so they could cut
Em     G       Am      D
What there was left of love

       Em    G   Am  D
I'm rootless
       Em    G   Am  D
I'm rootless

          Em      G      Am
Work your fingers to the bone
         Em      G      Am
Building castles out of snow
      Em    G       Am
I'm a nomad walking on
        Em     G        Am
Humming to the same old song


      Em   G    Am
Lower case society
        Em   G    Am
Tied to no community
      Em     G      Am
A kingdom without a king
        Em       G      Am
With no sense of belonging




      C           G           D
For a root, for a leaf, for a branch,
      Em
for a tree
        C            G           D
For something, somebody that remind
           B7
ed them of me


Em      G       Am           D
Running with my roots pulled up
Em        G       Am         D
Caught me cold so they could cut
Em     G       Am      D
What there was left of love

       Em    G   Am  D
I'm rootless
       Em    G   Am  D
I'm rootless

Em      D       Em           G
Running with my roots pulled up
   Am         B7     Em      D
So they could cut me free of love



Em      G       Am           D
Running with my roots pulled up
Em        G       Am         D
Caught me cold so they could cut
Em     G       Am      D
What there was left of love

       Em    G   Am  D
I'm rootless
       Em    G   Am  D
I'm rootless


Em       G        Am          D
Dragging my roots through the snow
Em      G         Am       D
No home sweet and no sweet home
Em   G      Am      D
I've got nowhere to go

       Em    G   Am  D
I'm rootless
       Em    G   Am  D
I'm rootless
