American Opera - Broken Road Ukulele Chords

Intro:
Am Dm G C G (x2)
F E

Am        Dm       G                  C         G
You are a bird and I am an old oak tree,

Am             Dm        G                C          G
You're free to fly while I am stuck on my knees...

Dm                     Am                       G
You built your nest in me, placed your trust in me,

                           C        G
Rest your head, rest your wings...

     Dm       Am                   G                          C        G
But opportunity flew you away from me and left me here on my own...

 

   F                           E
I wonder if you ever will fly home...

 

           C                Am
I love my home, it's all I know,

              F                       G
My roots run deep under these broken roads...

           C                 Am
This damn city has been my family,

             F                         G
But I'll be damned if I should up and leave...

 

             F                            E
But still I wonder if I should uproot and go...

 

Am(one stroke)  Dm  G                           C         G
Stuck in this dirt, my roots are veins for the earth,

Am             Dm                 G                                  C            G
I'll raise my branches high with pride for all the things that I've earned...

    Dm           Am                         G                               C       G
And I can't walk away, it seems I'm here to stay to sort through this on my own,

     Dm           Am                G                              C         G
Your obligation, no communication, oh, you're serving our nation's home...

 

   F                                     E
Oh pretty bird, well have you heard the news?

 

          C                 Am
I love my home, it's all I know,

               F                       G
My roots run deep under these broken roads...

           C                 Am
This damn city has been my family,

             F                         G
And I'll be damned if I should up and leave...

 

 F                                  E
Funny how sometimes life makes you choose,

      F                              E
If I go or stay, well, either way I lose...

      F                                    E
Have you found somewhere new to rest your head?

          F                                 E
Should I wait for you or find someone new instead?

 

          C                Am
I love my home, its all I know,

              F                      G
My roots run deep under these broken roads...

           C                Am
This damn city has been my family,

                F  
But, shit, who knows?

                         C
Maybe you're my family, too...

 

                      C
I don't know what to do...
