Roscoe Intro

[Intro] 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        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                    C
When they get 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 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                           D
Eighteen ninety one they roamed 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

Thought we were due for
             C            Em             D           C  Em
A change or two around this place, this place, this pla-ce
               D                     C
When they get back they're all mixed up
                  Em
