                     Sam Brookes - A Roof on my Head
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Capo 3rd fret
AmI wonder if there's Cdreamers on the Gstreets of FTripoli 
AmFighting for Cfreedom, a Fbetter place to Gbe 
AmI wonder if there's a Cyoung man not far Goff the same as Fme
AmWielding his Cideas for Fothers to Gsee
AmThere's a roof on my head
And I'm Cwell fed
And the Fsun tomorrow I'm likely to Amsee
So spare a thought for the Cpeople of GTripoli
For their Fdreams are far from G... I Amsing
AmControlled by a Cman we've all Gknown and seen Fbefore
AmKilling on his Cdoorstep as the Gblood runs down his Fdoors
AmPoisoning his Cpeople with Gwords spun from the Fwest
He's Amgiving them arms to Cfight while in his Gpast head down he Frests
There's a roof on my head
And I'm well fed
And the sun tomorrow I'm likely to see
So spare a thought for the people of Tripoli
For their dreams are far from ...  I sing
The disaster's on the news as the battle rages on
Limbs are pulled from the rubble and all I can do is look on
Before I stop my day, before I'm back in ...
I ask could we do more if we didn't ...
Well they're sending ships and planes and a no-fly zone is arranged
As the government plays Risk once again
And I wonder if there's dreamers on the streets of Tripoli
Fighting for their freedom, a better place to be
There's a roof on my head
And I'm well fed
And the sun tomorrow I'm likely to see
So spare a thought for the people of Tripoli
For their dreams are far from ... I sing
AmThere's a roof on my head
And I'm wCell fed
And the sFun tomorrow I'm likely to Amsee
So spare a thought should dCaily passes you Gby
And the Flittle things get you Gdown
Oh the lFittle things pass you Gby
And the Flittle things feel like a Gthorn
In your Amsight
AmI wonder if there's Cdreamers on the sGtreets of TFripoli 
AmFighting for Cfreedom, a Fbetter place to Gbe 
AmI wonder if there's Ca young man not far oGff the same as Fme
AmWielding his Cideas I wonder Gif he'll live to Amsee

Sam Brookes - A Roof on my Head

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Capo 3rd fret

Am C G F

I wonder if there's dreamers on the streets of Tripoli

Am C F G

Fighting for freedom, a better place to be

Am C G F

I wonder if there's a young man not far off the same as me

Am C F G

Wielding his ideas for others to see

There's a roof on my head

And I'm well fed

F Am

And the sun tomorrow I'm likely to see

C G

So spare a thought for the people of Tripoli

F G Am

For their dreams are far from ... I sing

Am C G F

Controlled by a man we've all known and seen before

Am C G F

Killing on his doorstep as the blood runs down his doors

Am C G F

Poisoning his people with words spun from the west

Am C G F

He's giving them arms to fight while in his past head down he rests

There's a roof on my head

And I'm well fed

And the sun tomorrow I'm likely to see

So spare a thought for the people of Tripoli

For their dreams are far from ... I sing

The disaster's on the news as the battle rages on

Limbs are pulled from the rubble and all I can do is look on

Before I stop my day, before I'm back in ...

I ask could we do more if we didn't ...

Well they're sending ships and planes and a no-fly zone is arranged

As the government plays Risk once again

And I wonder if there's dreamers on the streets of Tripoli

Fighting for their freedom, a better place to be

There's a roof on my head

And I'm well fed

And the sun tomorrow I'm likely to see

So spare a thought for the people of Tripoli

For their dreams are far from ... I sing

There's a roof on my head

And I'm well fed

F Am

And the sun tomorrow I'm likely to see

C G

So spare a thought should daily passes you by

F G

And the little things get you down

F G

Oh the little things pass you by

F G

And the little things feel like a thorn

In your sight

Am C G F

I wonder if there's dreamers on the streets of Tripoli

Am C F G

Fighting for freedom, a better place to be

Am C G F

I wonder if there's a young man not far off the same as me

Am C G Am

Wielding his ideas I wonder if he'll live to see
