Intro: Eb Fm Eb Bb Ab Bb Eb Verse 1: Eb Ab Eb I left the four lane highway, took a blacktop seven miles F Bb Down by the old country school, I went to as a child Eb Ab Eb Two miles down a gravel road, I could see the proud old home Bb Eb A tribute to a way of life that's almost come and gone Chorus: Ab Eb The roots of my raisin' run deep F Bb I come back for the strength that I need Ab Eb Bb And hope comes, no matter how far down I sink Ab Bb Eb The roots of my raisin' run deep
Verse 2: Eb Ab Eb I pulled into the driveway, tho Lord, it sure was good to be there Eb And through the open door I could see that F Bb Dad was asleep in his favorite chair Eb In his hand was a picture of Mom Ab Ab And I remembered how close they were Ab So I just turned away Bb Eb I didn't want to wake him, spoil his dreams of her Verse 3: Eb Ab Eb A Christian Mom who had the strength for life the way she did F Bb Then to pull that apron off and do the Charleston for us kids Eb Ab Eb Dad, a quiet man, who's gentle voice was seldom heard Bb Eb Who could borrow money at the bank, simply on his word Chorus: Ab Eb The roots of my raisin' run deep F Bb I come back for the strength that I need Ab Eb Bb And hope comes, no matter how far down I sink Ab Bb Eb The roots of my raisin' run deep Ab Bb Eb The roots of my raisin' run deep
