[Verse 1]

I’ve got questions
         D             A
I’ve got questions for God and His council
      D           A              E           A
And I know I know nothing, but a questions a start

A                      D                 A
I’m a simple girl, who sings of what she knows
      D                    A              E                A
Don’t know why good people have to go, or why it rains or snows


[Pre-Chorus]

A                           D           F#m
But I know one thing, and I know it for sure
  D         A          E          A
A drink and guitar are my perfect cure

Singing,


[Chorus]

D              A           E              A
Listen to your momma, shes wiser than she knows
D              A                         E                A
Listen to your father’s stories, they’ll teach you how to hope
    D       A              F#m            A
And when in doubt, write a ballad to back home
D              A                E             A
Set your roots deeply, and then you’ll surely grow

[Verse 2]

I’ll ask questions
         D             A
I’ve got questions I’m sure have no answer
      D              A                   E            A
And I know I’ll look stupid , but you’ll look just as so

A                      D               A
I’m a simple girl, who sings of her unknowns
D                    A         E        A
Questioning your authority and who said so?


[Pre-Chorus]

A                           D           F#m
But I know one thing, and I know it for sure
  D         A          E          A
A drink and guitar are my perfect cure

Singing,


[Chorus]

D              A                     E                A
Listen to your momma’s voice, it’ll give you peace of mind
D              A                     E          A
Listen to your father singing, ‘stay humble and kind’
    D       A              F#m            A
And when in doubt, write a ballad to back home
D              A                E             A
Set your roots deeply, and then you’ll surely grow


[Bridge]

     E              A          F#m    D
It’s time I started singing of what I know
E              A          F#m                D
Wasting all my time, just wishing time would slow
    E          A              F#m    E        D
And it’s silly thinking I can always run back home

   E        A
So here and now, I’ll


[Chorus]

D            A           E              A
Listen to my momma, shes wiser than she knows
    D            A                         E               A
I’m listen to my father’s stories, they’ll teach me how to hope
    D             A                     F#m            A
And when I was in doubt, I wrote this a ballad to back home
    D            A                E               F#m
You set my roots deeply, and for that I thank you so
    D            A                E               A
You set my roots deeply, and for that I thank you so
