[Verse]
Am Am
A mighty wind blew night and day
Am Am
It stole the oak tree leaves away
Dm Dm
Then snapped it boughs and pulled it’s bark
Am Am
Until the oak was standing stark
1Z40W33V9091825475
But it had roots deep in the earth
Am Em Am
Growing stronger since it’s birth
Am Em Am
[Verse]
Am Am
The wind grew stronger every hour
Am Am
But the oak refused to cower
Dm Dm
Even as a hurricane
Am Am
Every effort all in vane
Em Dm
The oak had roots deep in the earth
Am Em Am
Growing stronger since it’s birth
[Verse]
Am Am
That old oak just held it’s ground
Am Am
While other trees fell all around
Dm Dm
The weary wind gave up and spoke
Am Am
Why are you still standing oak
Em Dm
I have roots deep in the earth
Am Em Am
Growing stronger since my birth
[Verse]
Am Am
The tree said wind, I know that you
Am Am
Can break each branch of mine in two
Dm Dm
And carry every leaf away, so
Am Am
Shake my limbs and make me sway
Em Dm
For I have roots deep in the earth
Am Em Am
Growing stronger since my birth
Am Em Am
[Chorus]
Dm Dm
With these roots strong in the ground
Am Am
There’s a power I have found
Dm Dm
You won’t touch them for you see
E7 E7 E7
They’re the deepest part me
[Lead]
Am Am
Am Am
Dm Dm
Am Am
Em Dm
Am Em Am
Am Em Am
[Chorus]
Dm Dm
With these roots strong in the ground
Am Am
There’s a power I have found
Dm Dm
You won’t touch them for you see
E7 E7 E7
They’re the deepest part me
[Verse]
Am Am
Wind, today I wasn’t sure
Am Am
Of just how much I might endure
Dm Dm
But now I found with thanks to you
Am Am
I’m stronger than I ever knew
Em Dm
With my roots deep in the earth
[Outro]
Am Em Am
So much stronger since my birth
Am Em Am
So much stronger since my birth
Am Em Am
So much stronger since my birth
Am Em Am
