Roots And Wings chords by Jill Johnson

Guitar chords with lyrics

C
Her mom and dad grew up in this town
C
Married after school and settled down
     F
Like most 'round here, bought a little ground
    C
and planted roots.

      C
Her brother Mark works at daddy's store
C
Sister Connie's workin' on kid number four
    F
But Rose hit eighteen and hit that door
 C
and she flew
🎸

           Dm
she said I know they're thinkin'
    Em            F
I'm just the wild thing

Just cause you've got roots
        D               G
Doesn't mean you can't have wings

CHORUS:
       F     G
So she fli---es
        C
soaring where she's never been
 F                  G
Reaching out for a life
         Am               C
Grabbin' all she can take in
        F     G          C             F
And she fli---es like an eagle on the wind

Just cause you've got roots
        G                  F               C
Doesn't mean you can't have wings


    C
She moved to Dallas then Frisco Bay

Spent a year in Denver, wound up in L.A.
          F
Where she met a guy who took her breath away
     C
and said I do!

      C
They had a daughter late next fall

Took a trip back home to show her to mom
     F
Her mama said I've seen it all
           C
she act's just like you

 Dm                   Em
Rose - when she grows up
          F
remember one thing

Just cause she's got roots
         C               G
Doesn't mean she can't have wings

       F     G
So she fli---es
        C
soaring where she's never been
 F                  G
Reaching out for a life
         Am               C
Grabbin' all she can take in
        F     G          C             F
And she fli---es like an eagle on the wind

Just cause you've got roots
        G               F               C
Doesn't mean you can't have wings

Eb         G

       F     G
So she fli---es
        C
soaring where she's never been
 F                  G
Reaching out for a life
         Am               C
Grabbin' all she can take in
        F     G          C             F
And she fli---es like an eagle on the wind

Just cause you've got roots
        G               F               C
Doesn't mean you can't have wings


     C
Her mom and dad move to town

In north L.A they settled down
      F         (..slow down..)
Like most round here, bought a little ground
C
and planted roots.
