goin' back to my roots
Richie Havens - (Lamon Rozier)
Bm // E9sus (barre)
Zippin’ up my boots
Goin’ back to my roots
To the place of my birth
Back down to earth
Not talkin’ ‘bout the roots in the land
I’m talkin’ ‘bout the roots in the man
Zippin’ up my boots
Goin’ back to my roots
pont :
I’m homeward bound
Got my head turned around
Goin’ back to find myself
I can’t live with nobody else
Who’s livin’ in a world of fantasy?
Goin’ back, goin’ back to where I can be me
I’m searchin’ for riches I’ve had all the time
Finding out that happiness is just a state of mind
Just a state of mind
Zippin’ up my boots
Goin’ back to my roots
To the place of my birth
Back down to earth
Not talkin’ ‘bout the roots in the land
I’m talkin’ ‘bout the roots in the man
Zippin’ up my boots
Gettin’ back to my roots
I’m homeward bound
Got my head turned around
Goin’ home, goin’ home
Goin’ home, where I do belong
I found the riches and I’ve got the time
Finding out happiness was just a state of mind
Just a state of mind Just a state of mind
Just a state of mind Just a state of mind
Zippin’ up my boots
Goin’ back to my roots
To the place of my birth
Get on down to earth
It’s not black, it’s not white
It’s not red, It’s not yellow
(Repeat until fade)
