Judy Collins - Dorothy
CAPO: 1st Fret
[Intro]
Am Dm Am Dm Am
[Verse 1]
Dm Am Dm
Living in Kansas, a life alone
Am Dm G Am
She never married, she’s hardly known
Dm Am
She stares out the window, far away
Dm Am Dm G
Looking for another windy day
[Chorus]
C Cmaj7 C
Dorothy was a fool to leave, she should have stayed
Cmaj7 Bb
She had it right in her hands, she had it made
G Dm G
She could have had it all for keeps, she was afraid
C G Am Dm Am
She could have stayed
[Verse 2]
Dm Am Dm
It seems like only yesterday
Am Dm G Am
But forty years have all but slipped away
Dm Am
Since a lonely black haired girl
Dm Am Dm G
Was taken for her one and only whirl
[Chorus]
C Cmaj7 C
Dorothy was a fool to leave, she could have stayed
Cmaj7 Bb
She had it right in her hands, she had it made
G Dm G
She could have had it all for keeps, but was afraid
C G Em
She could have stayed
[Bridge]
Dm Em
Same old bluebird flying high
Dm
Over rainbows in that Kansas sky
Am
Why, oh why
Dm G Am
Oh why___
[Verse 3]
Dm Am Dm
I guess it only serves her right
Am Dm G Am
For trading all that colour for black and white
Dm Am
All her sorrow, all because
Dm Am Dm G
There ain’t no way to stand Kansas when you’ve been to Oz
[Chorus]
C Cmaj7 C
Dorothy was a fool to leave, she should have stayed
Cmaj7 Bb
She had it right in her hands, she had it made
G Dm G
She could have had it all for keeps, she was afraid
C G
She could have stayed
C G
She could have stayed
C Dm Am Dm Am
She could have stayed
