Alice Merton - No Roots
[Intro] (Bass Line)
Bm Em G A Bm
[Verse]
Bm
I like digging holes and hiding things inside them
When I'll grow old I hope I won't forget to find them
Em G A Bm G A
'Cause I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night
Bm
I built a home and wait for someone to tear it down
Bm
Then pack it up in boxes, head for the next town running
Em G A Bm G A
'Cause I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night
[Pre-chorus]
Em
And a thousand times I've seen this road,
G A
A thousand times
[Chorus]
Bm
I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
Em G
I've got no ro-ooo-ooo-oots
A Bm
I've got no ro-ooo-ooo-oots
Bm
I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
Em G
I've got no ro-ooo-ooo-oots
A Bm
I've got no ro-ooo-ooo-oots
[Verse]
Bm
I like standing still, boy that's just a wishful plan
Ask me where I come from, I'll say a different land
Em G A Bm
But I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night
Bm
I can't get the numbers, and play the guessing name
Bm
It's just the place that changes, the rest is still the same
Em G A Bm
But I've got memories and travel like gypsies in the night
[Pre-chorus]
Em
And a thousand times I've seen this road,
G A
A thousand times
[Chorus]
Bm
I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
Em G
I've got no ro-ooo-ooo-oots
A Bm
I've got no ro-ooo-ooo-oots
Bm
I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I've got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
Em G
I've got no ro-ooo-ooo-oots
A Bm
I've got no ro-ooo-ooo-oots
[Bridge]
Bm
I like digging holes and hiding things inside them
When I grow old I hope I won't forget to find them

I like digging holes and hiding things inside them
When I grow old I hope I won't forget to find them
I'VE GOT NO ROOTS!
Em G A Bm
NO ROOTS!
