[Verse]
Am
I like digging holes and hiding
things inside them
When I'll grow old I hope I
won't forget to find them
Dm
'Cause I've got memories and
F G Am
travel like gypsies in the
night
Am
I built a home and wait for
someone to tear it down
Then pack it up in boxes, head
for the next town running
Dm
'Cause I've got memories and
F G Am
travel like gypsies in the
night
[Pre-chorus]
Dm *
And a thousand times I've seen
this road,
F * G *
A thousand times
[Chorus]
Am
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
Dm F
I've got no roots uuuh uuuh uh
uh
G Am
I've got no roots uuuh uuuh uh
uh
Am
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

I've got no roots uuuh uuuh uh
uh
G Am
I've got no roots uuuh uuuh uh

[Verse]
Am
I like standing still, boy
that's just a wishful plan
Ask me where I come from, I'll
say a different land
Dm
But I've got memories and
F G
travel like gypsies in the
Am
night
Am
I can't get the numbers, and
play the guessing name
It's just the place that
changes, the rest is still the
same
Dm
But I've got memories and
F G
travel like gypsies in the
Am
night
[Pre-chorus]
Dm *
And a thousand times I've seen
this road,
F * G *
A thousand times
[Chorus]
Am
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
Dm F
I've got no roots uuuh uuuh uh
uh
G Am
I've got no roots uuuh uuuh uh
uh
Am
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
Dm F
I've got no roots uuuh uuuh uh
uh
G Am
I've got no roots uuuh uuuh uh
