Roots and Wings

Roots and Wings

(Key: G Major, Moderate Tempo, 4/4 Time)

[Verse 1]

G C
Mama said, "Stay strong, stand tall"
Em D
Daddy said, "Fly, don’t be afraid to fall"
G C
They gave me love, they gave me time
Em D G
Taught me to dream, made sure I’d shine

[Chorus]

C G
Roots to keep me steady, wings to set me free
D G
Holding on to where I’m from, chasing who I’ll be
C G
Every step I take, every song I sing

D C G
Comes from the gift of roots and wings

[Verse 2]

G C
Small town roads, big sky dreams
Em D
Carved my path in in-between
G C
The echoes call, but I move on
Em D G
Carrying love that’s never gone

[Chorus]

C G
Roots to keep me steady, wings to set me free
D G
Holding on to where I’m from, chasing who I’ll be
C G
Every step I take, every song I sing
D C G
Comes from the gift of roots and wings

[Bridge]

Em C
I hear their voices when the road gets rough
G D
"Stand your ground, but don’t give up"
Em C
No matter how far, no matter how high
G D
The love they gave will never die

[Instrumental Break]| G | C | Em | D || G | C | D | G |

[Chorus]

C G
Roots to keep me steady, wings to set me free
D G
Holding on to where I’m from, chasing who I’ll be
C G
Every step I take, every song I sing
D C G
Comes from the gift of roots and wings

[Outro]

D C G
Comes from the gift of roots and wings
