"All The Roots Grow Deeper When It's Dry"

by David Wilcox
transcription by Bill Boroson 5/19/95


6 = D

D G
Summer lasted a generation

G/F# Em7 Asus4
A generation - and then the winter wind

D G
The bounty harvest that seemed so endless

G/F# Em7 Asus4
It seemed so endless until it gave what it could give



G Asus4 D
Prosperity will have its seasons

G Asus4
Even when it's here, it's going by

G Amaj Bmin B+2
And when it's gone we pretend we know the reasons

G Asus4 G Asus4
And all the roots grow deeper when it's dry



D G
It looked so easy, we change the weather

G/F# Em7 G Asus4
We would turn this world ourselves our world so small

D G
But slower rhythms - still unheard of

G/F# Em7 Asus4 D
Said that every blessed summer someday has to fall



G Asus4 D
Prosperity will have its seasons

G Asus4
Even when it's here, it's going by

G Amaj Bmin B+2
And when it's gone we pretend we know the reasons

G Asus4 G D G Asus4
And all the roots grow deeper when it's dry, when it's dry


<GUITAR SOLO: SAME CHORDS AS VERSES>
