Biography:
The Grass Roots aka simply Grass Roots, were a hugely successful pop rock group that despite charting 29 Top 100 singles from 1967 to 1972 and being on the Billboard charts an astounding 307 straight weeks during that time, never quite had a number 1 single. Their music, largely a product of top production and songwriting talents of the era, remains a staple of 60's & 70's oldies radio stations, and many movie soundtracks.

Verse 1:
D G
Don't bother cryin', don't bother crawlin'
D A
It's all over now, no use in stallin'
D G
The love I once felt, I don't feel anymore for you
D A
This time I'll even open the door for you
D D7
You walked out when I was down
G
Well now I'm well off
E7 A
And look who's comin' round
Chorus:
D G
Where were you when I needed you
D A
Where were you when I wanted you
D G
Where were you when I needed you
CaddD G/B G/A G [as per intro]
Where..ere...ere
Verse 2:
You're lookin' good, it's hard to fight it
But no use explainin', I've already decided
That livin' with you, it's worse than without you
I won't spend a lifetime a-worryin' about you
Oh, things got rough and you disappeared
Now I'm back on my feet
But look, look who's standing there
[repeat chorus]
Harpsichord solo:
D G D A D
/ / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / / /
Verse 3:
Oh, you were so young, and you were so wild
I knew you were nobody's innocent child
That first day I saw you, you really got to me
I thought I could change you, what good did it do me
Oh, things got rough and you wouldn't wait
Now you're tripping back
But babe, it's too late
[repeat chorus to fade]
