Oh You Are The Roots That Sleep Beneath My Feet And Hold The Earth In Place

the version that was already up here had the Interlude all wrong and a lot of the chords were misplaced throughout the song . this one should be more accurate . enjoy! D Bm i met you through a common friend G D in the attic of my parent’s house D Bm and though i didn’t know it then G A i soon was finding out Bm G you are the roots that sleep beneath my feet D A and hold the earth in place Bm each time a faucet opens G words are spoken D A the water runs away G and i hear your name D no , nothing has changed D Bm G D D Bm there was this book i read and loved G D the story of a ship D Bm who sailed around the world and found G A that nothing else exists Bm beyond his own two sails G and wooden shell D A and what is held within Bm all else is sure to pass G we clutch and grasp D A and debate what’s truly permanent G but when the wind starts to shift D there’s no argument [ Interlude ] D A i sing and drink and sleep on floors Bm G and try hard not to be annoyed F# Bm A by all these people worrying about me D A so when i’m suffering through some awful drive D G you occasionally cross my mind D Bm A it’s my hidden hope that you are still among them well are you? [ Interlude ] D G oh , you are the roots that sleep beneath my feet D A and hold the earth in place D each time a curtain opens G sunlight pours in D A a lifetime melts away G and we share a name D on some picturesque grave
