MIDLAKE ROSCOE
G#m F#
Stonecutters made them from stones
E
Chosen specially for you and I
G#m
Who will live inside
G#m
The mountaineers gathered tender
F#
Piled high
E
In which to take along.
G#m
Driving many miles, knowing they'd get here.
G#m
When they got here, all exhausted
F#
On the roof leaks they got started
E
And now when the rain comes
G#m
We can be thankful
G#m F#
Ooh aah ooh
E
When the mountaineers
Saw that everything fit, they were
G#m
Glad and so they took off
G#m F#
Thought we were devoid
E
A change or two
G#m
Around this place
F# E G#m
When they get back they're all mixed up with no one to stay with
G#m F# E G#m
G#m F# E
G#m
Eighteen-ninety-one
F#
They looked around the forest
E
They made their house from cedars
G#m
They made their house from stones
F#
Oh, they're a little like you, and
E
They're a little like me
G#m
When they're falling me
G#m F#
Thought we were devoid
E
A change or two
G#m
Around this place
F#
(This place)
E G#m
(This place)
F# E G#m
When they get back they're all mixed up with no one to stay with
F# E G#m
When they get back they're all mixed up with no one to stay with
( Additional lyrics, not on YouTube version )
The village used to be all one really needs
That's filled with hundreds and hundreds of
Chemicals that mostly surround you
You wish to flee but it's not like you
So listen to me, listen to me
Oh, oh, oh and when the morning comes,
We will step outside
We will not find another man inside
We like the newness, the newness of all
That has grown in our garden soaking for so long
Whenever I was a child I wondered what if my name had changed into something more productive like Roscoe
Been born in 1891
Waiting with my Aunt Rosaline
Thought we were devoid
A change or two
Around this place
When they get back they're all mixed up with no one to stay with
