Judy Collins - The Coming Of The Roads
CAPO: 1st Fret
[Intro]
G
[Verse 1]
Now that our Dmountain is EmgrowingC  
With people Dhungry for Gwealth
How come it's Dyou that's a-EmgoinA7g__
And CI'm left alone by Dmyself?G  
[Verse 2]
We used to Dhunt the cool EmcavernsC  
Deep in our Dforest of Ggreen
Then came the Droad and the EmtaveA7rn__
And Cyou found a new love it DseemsG  
[Chorus]
Once I Ahad you and the DwildBmwoodC  
Now, it's Djust dusty Groads
And I can't help from Dblaming your CgoiAng
On the Ccoming, the Dcoming Cof the Groads
[Verse 3]
Look how they've Dcut all to EmpiecesC  
Our ancient Dpoplar and Goak
And the hillsides are Dstained with the EmgreaA7ses
That Cburned up the heavens with DsmokeG  
[Verse 4]
You used to Dcurse the bold EmcrewmenC  
Who stripped our Dearth of its Gore
Now you've changed and you've Dgone over Emto A7them
CAnd you've learned to love what you hated beDforeG  
[Chorus]
Once I Athanked god for my DtreaBmsureC  
Now like Drust, it corGrodes
And I can't help from Dblaming your CgoiAng
On the Ccoming, the Dcoming Cof the Groads
