[Intro]
Bm A Bm A Bm A Bm A Em (x2) G A
 
 
[Verse]
Bm         A                 Bm        A
    I like digging holes and    hiding things inside them
Bm              A             Bm               A
    When I grow old, I hope I     won't forget   to find them
Em                               G             A              Bm    A Bm A
    'Cause I've got memories and   travel like gypsies in the night
Bm            A                 Bm             A
    I build a home and wait for     someone to tear it down
Bm               A            Bm               A
    Then pack it up in boxes,     head for the next town running
Em                               G             A              Bm     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
       A        Bm           A
But my home was never on the ground
            Bm
I've got no roots
       A        Bm           A
But my home was never on the ground
            Em         G
I've got no roo-ooooooots
     A      Bm     A    Bm A
I've got no roo-ooooots
            Bm
I've got no roots
       A        Bm           A
But my home was never on the ground
            Bm
I've got no roots
       A        Bm           A
But my home was never on the ground
            Em         G
I've got no roo-ooooooots
     A      Bm     A    Bm A
I've got no roo-ooooots
 
 
[Verse]
Bm         A                  Bm                A
    I like standing still but     that's just a wishful plan
Bm         A            Bm               A
    Ask me where I come from, I'll say a different land
Em                            G             A              Bm    A Bm A
    But I've got memories and   travel like gypsies in the night
Bm          A                  Bm                A
    I count gates and numbers,     then play the guessing game
Bm                A                   Bm             A
    It's just the place that changes,    the rest is still the same
Em                            G             A              Bm     A
    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
            Bm
I've got no roots
       A        Bm           A
But my home was never on the ground
            Em         G
I've got no roo-ooooooots
     A      Bm     A    Bm A
I've got no roo-ooooots
            Bm
I've got no roots
       A        Bm           A
But my home was never on the ground
            Bm
I've got no roots
       A        Bm           A
But my home was never on the ground
            Em         G
I've got no roo-ooooooots
     A      Bm     A    Bm A
I've got no roo-ooooots
 
 
[Bridge]
N.C.
I like digging holes, hiding things inside them
When I grow old, I won't forget to find them
I like digging holes, hiding things inside them
When I grow old, I won't forget to find them
(I've got no roots)
