[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
