Bright Eyes – Oh You Are The Roots That Sleep Beneath My Feet And Hold The Earth In Place chords
Chords:
The version that was already up here had the interlude all wrong and a lot of the chords were misplaced throughout the song. This one should be more accurate. Enjoy!D BmI met you through a common friendG Din the attic of my parent's houseD Bm and though I didn't know it thenG A I soon was finding outBm Gyou are the roots that sleep beneath my feetD Aand hold the earth in placeBm each time a faucet opensGwords are spokenD Athe water runs awayGand I hear your nameDno, nothing has changedD Bm G DD Bmthere was this book I read and lovedG Dthe story of a shipD Bmwho sailed around the world and foundG Athat nothing else existsBmbeyond his own two sailsGand wooden shellD Aand what is held withinBmall else is sure to passG we clutch and graspD Aand debate what's truly permanentGbut when the wind starts to shiftDthere's no argument[Interlude]D A I sing and drink and sleep on floorsBm G and try hard not to be annoyedF# Bm Aby all these people worrying about meD A so when I'm suffering through some awful driveD Gyou occasionally cross my mindD Bm Ait's my hidden hope that you are still among themwell are you? [Interlude]D GOh, you are the roots that sleep beneath my feetD Aand hold the earth in placeDeach time a curtain opensGsunlight pours inD Aa lifetime melts awayGand we share a nameDon some picturesque grave
