The Coming Of The Roads
Judy Collins
Judy Collins - The Coming Of The Roads CAPO: 1st Fret [Intro] [Verse 1] Now that our mountain is growing With people hungry for wealth How come it’s you that’s a-going__ And I’m left alone by myself? [Verse 2] We used to hunt the cool caverns Deep in our forest of green Then came the road and the tavern__ And you found a new love it seems [Chorus] Once I had you and the wildwood Now it’s just dusty roads And I can’t help from blaming your going On the coming the coming of the roads [Verse 3] Look how they’ve cut all to pieces Our ancient poplar and oak And the hillsides are stained with the greases That burned up the heavens with smoke [Verse 4] You used to curse the bold crewmen Who stripped our earth of its ore Now you’ve changed and you’ve gone over to them And you’ve learned to love what you hated before [Chorus] Once I thanked god for my treasure Now like rust it corrodes And I can’t help from blaming your going On the coming the coming of the roads
