Roscoe chords by Midlake

Capo 4

Em D C Em

Em                D
Stone-cutters made them from stones
           C
Chosen specially for you and I
         Em
Who will live inside
                    D
The mountaineers gathered timber piled high
          C
In which to take along
         Em
Travelling many miles knowing they'd get here

Em
When they got here all exhausted
    D
On the roof leaks they got started
C                     Em
And now when the rain comes we can be thankful


Em
Oooo
D
Ooooo
D           C
When the mountaineers saw that everything fit
                Em
They were glad and so they took off


           D
Thought we were due for a change
  C        Em
Or two around this place
        D          C
When they got back they're all mixed up
Em
With no one to stay with



Em
The village used to be all one really needs
                   D
Now it's filled with hundreds and hundreds of chemicals
        C
That mostly surround you, you wish to flee
                 Em
But it's not like you so listen to me listen to me


Em
Oh and when the morning comes

We will step outside
       D
We will not find another man in sight
                  C
We like the newness the newness of all

That has grown in our garden
          Em
Struggling for so long


Em
Whenever I was a child

I wonder what if my name had changed
            D
Into something more productive
              C
Like Roscoe been born in 1891

Waiting with my aunt Roslein

Em
Thought we were due for a change
  C        Em
Or two around this place
        D          C
When they got back they're all mixed up

Em
With no one to stay with


1891 they roamed around and foraged
They made their house from cedars
They made their house from stone
Well they're a little like you
Adn they're a little like me
We have all we need

Em
Thought we were due for a change
  C        Em
Or two around this place
        D          C
When they got back they're all mixed up
Em
With no one to stay with

Em       D         C
When they got back they're all mixed up
           Em
With no one to stay with
Em       D         C
When they got back they're all mixed up
           Em
With no one to stay with
