No Roots Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][Am][Bm][Em]
[Em][Am][Bm][Em]

[Verse 1]
[Em]That thing, I walk by [Am]the river
Re[Bm]membering the days of [Em]young
My mum, the food she de[Am]livered
Our [Bm]bellies were so full and [Em]fun
We heard a plane in the air flying [Am]up above
The [Bm]enemy from over[Em]seas (The sea)
I grabbed my family
by the hands and we [Am]ran away
We're [Bm]running from the ene[Em]my

[Chorus 1]
[Em]No roots, no roots, no[Am] culture
We're [Bm]running from the ene[Em]my
No roots, no roots, [Am]no culture
[Bm]I'm hiding with my famil[Em]y

[Verse 2]
Insidе a [Em]room we would hide
when thе [Am]sun was gone
So [Bm]quiet as we hid through the [Em]night
I heard a man through
the window on the [Am]telephone
They're [Bm]searching for my family and [Em]I
I take a chance with the gun
holding [Am]in my hand
Be[Bm]hind it, we would seek through the [Em]night
I pulled the trigger to his head,
now his [Am]life is gone
My [Bm]family we are free for the [Em]night

[Chorus 2]
Say, [Em]no roots, no roots, n[Am]o culture
We're [Bm]hiding in the thick of the [Em]night
No roots, no roots, [Am]no culture
My [Bm]family will fight for our [Em]lives

[Bridge 1]
There's no [Em]price they can put on our [Am]name
My [Bm]hearts fighting in the [Em]game
They tried to take my a[Am]part
It's a [Bm]war that you don't want to [Em]start

[Verse 3]
And now the [Em]tables
have turned on the [Am]enemy
Al[Bm]mighty God has answered my [Em]cries
Sometimes a friend is also a [Am]frenemy
They're [Bm]smiling
with them lying [Em]eyes
Just like in life, there's a war
every[Am]where around
And [Bm]you can be the shining l[Em]ight
They took their bombs, their guns, the [Am]enemy
They're [Bm]running in the dead of the [Em]night

[Chorus 3]
[Em]Our roots, our roots, [Am]our culture
No [Bm]one can take that feeling from [Em]me
Our roots, our roots, [Am]our culture
The [Bm]power of the totara [Em]tree, yeah
Our roots, our roots, [Am]our culture
No [Bm]one can take that feeling from [Em]me
Our roots, our roots, [Am]our culture
The [Bm]power of the totara [Em]tree,

[Outro 1]
[Em][Am][Bm][Em]
[Em][Am][Bm][Em]
[Repeat and fade]
