MAN IN ROOM 39
Everett Davis
 
 
[Intro]
C C G6/B Am Am F G C
 
[Verse 1]
C                     G6/B Am              F               G                Am
Windowless room, number 39,                holds an honest man with a thirsty mind.
          C   F  G        Am    G    F               G      C G
But there are no rivers inside these walls, and so he sings,
 
[Chorus]
F       C         G        Am    F           C               G       Am
Roaring brooks and cherry trees. This is the place my heart longs to be.
    F               C          G  C  G
The blossoms in the water call me.
 
[Verse 2]
C                     G6/B     Am          F               G              Am
His glossy shoes only hold him down.       They were never meant to cover ground.
       C    F    G       Am     G   F            G       C G
So he slips them off and frees his soul, then he goes to,
 
[Chorus]
F       C         G        Am    F           C               G       Am
Roaring brooks and cherry trees. This is the place my heart longs to be.
    F               C          G  C  G
The blossoms in the water call me.
 
[Bridge]
  Am                G  C      G          F                         E7
Remember a mountaintop has no roof and a home in the wild needs no window.
Am          C               G        Am    G   F        G   C   G
Leave your cage, break your chains. Roar your name and sing,
 
[Chorus]
N.C.
Roaring brooks and cherry trees. This is the place my heart longs to be.
The blossoms in the water call me.
F       C         G        Am    F           C               G       Am
Roaring brooks and cherry trees. This is the place my heart longs to be.
    F               C          G  C  G
The blossoms in the water call me.
 
[Outro]

Overall, really solid. Just a few suggestions that aren't necessary to change - I just think they make it a little cleaner. In the verse where you have the quick C, F, G transition ("are no rivers"), and the Am, G, F ("inside these walls", I think the second chord in each of those sets isn't really necessary. The quick transition can get a bit sloppy, and I think if you stick with the first chord and then go to the third chord, it adds some nice dissonance in the middle. Also, at the end of each verse you have G, C, G - I'd recommend a G, Gsus4, G instead. Just some thoughts! Otherwise, thanks for getting this up here! :)
