Roots

E From the roots on the ground in Allentown PA A is where Aaron learned to play E Colorado Symphony and the Army band A he became a music man E A Fell in love and raised a family E Settling down in a small town A a teacher he came to be E Gone too soon on an October night A but passing down a legacy E Connected forever, I stand here A now part of his family free E A When I strum these strings and sing outloud C#m B oy ya ya ya oy ya ya ya ya E A Oh when I strum these strings and sing outloud C#m B oy ya ya ya oy ya ya ya ya E A When I strum these strings and sing outloud C#m B I imagine how it would be E A When I strum these strings and sing outloud C#m B I imagine how it would be N.C if Aaron played music with me Musical Break E A C#m B E A C#m B E A C#m B As I sit by the fire and stare at the moon E A C#m B its a perfect moment to write about you E A C#m B If you were here for just one night E A C#m B would you tell me stories from another time?
