      [Verse]
Am                                         Am
A mighty wind blew night and day
Am                              Am
It stole the oak tree leaves away
Dm                              Dm
Then snapped it boughs and pulled it’s bark
Am                      Am
Until the oak was standing stark (tired and stark? is it tired or still strong?)
Em                      Dm      
But it had roots deep in the earth
Am                   Em  Am          
Growing stronger since it’s birth
Am                       Em  Am

[Verse]
Am                                         Am
The wind grew stronger every hour
Am                              Am
But the oak refused to cower
Dm                              Dm
Even as a hurricane
Am                                         Am
Every effort all in vane
Em                      Dm      
The oak had roots deep in the earth
Am                   Em  Am          
Growing stronger since it’s birth

[Verse]
Am                                         Am
That old oak just held it’s ground
Am                                         Am
While other trees fell all around
Dm                              Dm
The weary wind gave up and spoke
Am                                         Am
Why are you still standing oak
Em                      Dm      
I have roots deep in the earth
Am                   Em  Am          
Growing stronger since my birth

[Verse]
Am                                         Am
The tree said wind, I know that you
Am                                         Am
Can break each branch of mine in two
Dm                              Dm
And carry every leaf away, so
Am                                         Am
Shake my limbs and make me sway
Em                      Dm      
For I have roots deep in the earth
Am                   Em  Am          
Growing stronger since my birth
Am                   Em  Am          

[Chorus]
Dm                              Dm
With these roots strong in the ground
Am                      Am
There’s a power I have found
Dm                      Dm
You won’t touch them for you see
E7
They’re the deepest part me

[Lead]
Am                                         Am
Am                                         Am
Dm                              Dm
Am                                         Am
Em                      Dm      
Am                   Em  Am          
Am                   Em  Am     

[Chorus]
Dm                              Dm
With these roots strong in the ground
Am                      Am
There’s a power I have found
Dm                      Dm
You won’t touch them for you see
E7
They’re the deepest part me

[Verse]
Am                                         Am
Wind, today I wasn’t sure
Am                              Am
Of just how much I might endure
Dm                              Dm
But now I found with thanks to you
Am                      Am
I’m stronger than I ever knew 
Em                      Dm      
With my roots deep in the earth

[Outro]
Am                   Em  Am          
So much stronger since my birth
Am                   Em  Am          
So much stronger since my birth
Am                   Em  Am          
So much stronger since my birth
Am                   Em  Am
