Am                              

I like digging holes and hiding things inside them

When I’ll grow old I hope I won’t forget to find them

Dm                           F7m           G              Am

‘Cause I’ve got memories and travel like gypsies in the night

Am

I built a home and wait for someone to tear it down

Then pack it up in boxes, head for the next town running

Dm                           F           G              Am

‘Cause I’ve got memories and travel like gypsies in the night

      Dm *                                                       F *      G *

And a thousand times I’ve seen this road,    A thousand times

Am

I’ve got no roots, but my home was never on the ground

I’ve got no roots, but my home was never on the ground

            Dm           F                           G           Am                 

I’ve got no roots uuuh uuuh uh uh       I’ve got no roots uuuh uuuh uh uh  [x2]

Am

I like standing still, boy that’s just a wishful plan

Ask me where I come from, I’ll say a different land

Dm                        F           G              Am

But I’ve got memories and travel like gypsies in the night

Am

I can’t get the numbers, and play the guessing name

It’s just the place that changes, the rest is still the same

Dm                        F           G              Am

But I’ve got memories and travel like gypsies in the night

[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus]

Bridge: Am *   Am *

 I like digging holes, Hiding things inside them

 When I’ll grow old,  I won’t forget to find them[x2]  I’ve got no roots…No roots

[Chorus]
