D5       A            A7M(9)   A
  My first best friend    was a 6 string
D5      A         A7M(9)      A
  Took him with me everywhere I go
D5       A      A7M(9)        A
  When I was 18,     bought a Dodge van
D5         A          A7M(9)        A      (E)
  Found a drummer and made the road my home

F#m
   Ohh I wouldn't change a thing
D                   E
  It made the man I am today

[Chorus]

   A5    E
My roots always keep me grounded
F#m7     D5
Roots remind me where I'm from
A5                E
  Even when I'm a thousand miles away from my
F#m7        D5
Roots I'm home

D5      A     A7M(9)          A
  Every Friday      you could find me
D5         A      A7M(9)          A
  At Dixie Tavern playing with my band
D5              A         A7M(9)             A
  We'd start the show with      a round of whiskey
D5             A              A7M(9)            A   (E)
  And play our hearts out and wished it'd never end

F#m
   Ohh I wouldn't change a thing
D                   E
  It made the man I am today

[Chorus]

   A5    E
My roots always keep me grounded
F#m7     D5
Roots remind me where I'm from
A5                E
  Even when I'm a thousand miles away from my
F#m7        D5
Roots I'm home

D5             A      A7M(9)              A
  We'd get 'em singing      "Don't Stop Believing"
D5            A         A7M(9)          A
  Then follow up with a cold beer on a Friday night
D5         A      A7M(9)        A
  Always dreaming one day we'd play with
D5         A        A7M(9)       A    (E)
  All our heroes we cover every night

F#m
   Flying high all our dreams came true
D                  E
  You've given me wings

[Chorus]

    A5    E
And roots always keep me grounded
F#m7     D5
Roots remind me where I'm from
A5                E
  Even when I'm a thousand miles away from my
F#m7        D5
Roots I'm home

[Chorus]

   A5    E
My roots always keep me grounded
F#m7     D5
Roots remind me where I'm from
    Bm
My roots
                 E
Even when I'm a thousand miles away from my
F#m7        D5
Roots I'm home

A5
Don't (Roots) give up
      E
Hold on a little longer
F#m7
What (Roots) don't kill you
D5
Only makes you stronger

A5
Don't give up
      E
Hold on a little longer
F#m7
What don't kill you
D5                         A5
Only makes you stronger.. Roots
