Roscoe Intro

[Intro] Em

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

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

Em        D
Ooh aaah ooh
                     C
When the mountaineers saw that 
everything fit
                            Em
They were glad and so they took off

[Estribillo]

Em                   D
Thought we were due for
             C            Em
A change or two around this place
                D                  
When they get back they're all 
  C
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
But it's not like you, so listen to 
      Em
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 wondered what if my name had 
changed
       D
Into something more productive like 
Roscoe
              C
Been born in eighteen ninety one
                      Em
Waiting with my aunt Rosaline

                Em             
Eighteen ninety one they roamed 
              D
around and foraged
                            C
They made their house from cedars
                             Em
They made their house from stone
                          D
Oh they're a little like you
                          C
And they're a little like me
                Em
We have all we need

 this place, this pla-ce
