Rootless Ukulele chords by Marina And The Diamonds

The verses might look a bit complicated, but they aren't! If
you think it's too much, you can only play Bbm and Ab and it will sound good, too! It's
just, for me, there was something missing inbetween, so I tried it with these chords. If
you play the F# chord, you have got to do it just quick before the F chord. I am playing
them all in the barre-style. But you can totally skip them!
I am also a bit unsure about the Pre-chorus.

No capo.

Marina and the Diamonds - Rootless


       Bbm    C#     Ab
I'm a cloud drifting by
(F#) F     Bbm    C#      Ab
Dripping tears from the sky
(F#) F     Bbm    C#      Ab
I'm a snail without a shell
(F#) F     Bbm    C#      Ab
Leopard with a golden bell

(F#) F     Bbm  C#    Ab
I've got nowhere to go
(F#) F   Bbm    C#     Ab
I'm a stray cat on the roam
(F#) F    Bbm    C#      Ab
Choking on a chicken bone
(F#) F   Bbm        C#      Ab      F# F
For a home sweet, no sweet home


       F#           Bbm          Ab        Bbm  Ab
For a root, for a leaf, for a branch, for a tree
       F#           Bbm          Ab            F#   Ab
For something, somebody that reminded them of me


Bbm      Ab       F#         Ab
Running with my roots pulled up
Bbm      Ab       F#         Ab
Caught me cold so they could cut
Bbm      Ab       F#         Ab
What there was left of love
Bbm      Ab       F#         Ab
I'm rootless
Bbm      Ab       F#         Ab
I'm rootless


(F#) F     Bbm  C#    Ab
Work your fingers to the bone
(F#) F     Bbm  C#    Ab
Building castles out of snow
(F#) F     Bbm  C#    Ab
I'm a nomad walking on
(F#) F     Bbm  C#    Ab
Humming to the same old song


(F#) F     Bbm  C#    Ab
Lower case society
(F#) F     Bbm  C#    Ab
Tied to no community
(F#) F     Bbm  C#    Ab
A kingdom without a king
(F#) F     Bbm  C#    Ab
With no sense of belonging


       F#           Bbm          Ab        Bbm   Ab
For a root, for a leaf, for a branch, for a tree
       F#           Bbm          Ab         F#    Ab
For something, somebody that reminded them of me


Bbm      Ab       F#         Ab
Running with my roots pulled up
Bbm      Ab       F#         Ab
Caught me cold so they could cut
Bbm      Ab       F#         Ab
What there was left of love
Bbm      Ab       F#         Ab
I'm rootless
Bbm      Ab       F#         Ab
I'm rootless


Bbm      Ab       Bbm        Ab
Running with my roots pulled up
Bbm      Ab       Bbm        Ab
So they could cut me free of love

Bbm  Ab  Bbm  Ab
Bbm  Ab  Bbm  Ab


Bbm      Ab       F#         Ab
Running with my roots pulled up
Bbm      Ab       F#         Ab
Caught me cold so they could cut
Bbm      Ab       F#         Ab
What there was left of love
Bbm      Ab       F#         Ab
I'm rootless
Bbm      Ab       F#         Ab
I'm rootless


Bbm      Ab       F#         Ab
Dragging my roots through the snow
Bbm      Ab       F#         Ab
No home sweet and no sweet home
Bbm      Ab       F#         Ab
I've got nowhere to go
Bbm      Ab       F#         Ab
I'm rootless
Bbm      Ab       F#         Ab
I'm rootless
