Caroline Herring - Building Of The Road
CAPO: 5th Fret
INTRO: C
F C
One day the little house
F C
Was surprised to see
F C
A car on the dirt road
F C
Where a carriage used to be
G
Pretty soon there were more
F
And as time passed
C F C
The surveyors came
F C
And drew a line in the grass
CHORUS:
G F C
The steam shovels dug, then the trucks brought stones
F C Dm G
Then the steam roller came and smoothed out the road
C G F C
The little house, she could never be sold
F C G C
So she sat and watched the building of the road
F C
First it was gasoline stations
F C
And roadside stands
F C
As roads became highways
F C
And carved up the land
G
Everything moved
F
Much faster than before
C F C
Then the city came and knocked
F C
On the little house's door
CHORUS:
G F C
The steam shovels dug, then the trucks brought stones
F C Dm G
Then the steam roller came and smoothed out the road
C G F C
The little house, she could never be sold
F C G C
So she sat and watched the building of the road
INTERLUDE:
G F C F C Dm G
Lala lala lala la, lala lala lala la
C G F C F C Dm C
Lala lala lala la, lala lala lala la
G F C F C Dm G
Lala lala lala la, lala lala lala la
C G F C F C Dm C G
Lala lala lala la, lala lala lala la
## Spoken ##
F C F C
No more children playing in the brook
Dm G C G
No more daisies covering the hill
F C F C
No more harvest gatherings
Dm G
No more apple trees in blossom
