Intro: G G G D G G G D

Verse 1:
G
A broken heart is broken earth
                                       C
The soil's rich and it gives birth to new life
             G
A brand new life
G
Throw me all the seeds you sow
                                         C
I'll take them in and make them grow in your light
              G
Just give it time

Chorus:
    D   C           G
So put down your roots
           D                 C                    G
And I'll plant this fallow field of mine with you
    D   C           G
So put down your roots
   D               C                 G
Together we will watch this desert bloom

Interlude: G G G D

Verse 2:
    G
We waited out the winter months
                                      C
Hoping that the spring will come and she came
                G
She brought us rain
    G
A rain to quench the deadly thirst
                                           C
To end the drought and break the curse on this land
            G
And on my hands

Chorus:
    D   C           G
So put down your roots
           D                 C                    G
And I'll plant this fallow field of mine with you
    D   C           G
So put down your roots
   D               C                 G
Together we will watch this desert bloom

    D   C           G
So put down your roots
