MAN IN ROOM 39
Everett Davis
[Intro]
C C G6/B Am Am F G C
[Verse 1]
C G6/B Am F G Am
Windowless room, number 39, holds an honest man with a thirsty mind.
C F G Am G F G C G
But there are no rivers inside these walls, and so he sings,
[Chorus]
F C G Am F C G Am
Roaring brooks and cherry trees. This is the place my heart longs to be.
F C G C G
The blossoms in the water call me.
[Verse 2]
C G6/B Am F G Am
His glossy shoes only hold him down. They were never meant to cover ground.
C F G Am G F G C G
So he slips them off and frees his soul, then he goes to,
[Chorus]
F C G Am F C G Am
Roaring brooks and cherry trees. This is the place my heart longs to be.
F C G C G
The blossoms in the water call me.
[Bridge]
Am G C G F G
Remember a mountaintop has no roof and a home in the wild needs no window.
Am G C G F G C G
Leave your cage, break your chains. Roar your name and sing,
[Chorus]
N.C.
Roaring brooks and cherry trees. This is the place my heart longs to be.
The blossoms in the water call me.
F C G Am F C G Am
Roaring brooks and cherry trees. This is the place my heart longs to be.
F C G C G
The blossoms in the water call me.
