The Coming Of The Roads

G

[Verse 1]

             D           Em        C
Now that our mountain is growing
            D          G
With people hungry for wealth
              D            Em  A7
How come it's you that's a-going__
    C                 D         G
And I'm left alone by myself?


[Verse 2]

           D             Em        C
We used to hunt the cool caverns
            D         G
Deep in our forest of green
              D            Em  A7
Then came the road and the tavern__
    C                       D       G
And you found a new love it seems


[Chorus]

      A                D   Bm    C
Once I had you and the wildwood
          D          G
Now, it's just dusty roads
                      D            C  A
And I can't help from blaming your going
       C           D      C      G
On the coming, the coming of the roads


[Verse 3]

                 D          Em       C
Look how they've cut all to pieces
            D          G
Our ancient poplar and oak
                      D                Em  A7
And the hillsides are stained with the greases
     C                          D       G
That burned up the heavens with smoke


[Verse 4]

            D              Em        C
You used to curse the bold crewmen
                 D            G
Who stripped our earth of its ore
                              D         Em A7
Now you've changed and you've gone over to them
C                                           D      G
And you've learned to love what you hated before


[Chorus]

       A                  D   Bm    C
Once I thanked god for my treasure
         D           G
Now like rust, it corrodes
                      D            C  A
And I can't help from blaming your going
       C           D      C      G
On the coming, the coming of the roads
