Dorothy Chords & Lyrics - Judy Collins

CAPO: 1st Fret

[INTRO]
[Am] [Dm] [Am] [Dm] [Am]

[VERSE 1]
Living in Kansas, a [Dm]life a[Am]lone [Dm]
She never [Am]married,[Dm] she’s hardly [G]known [Am]
She stares out the window,[Dm] far a[Am]way
[Dm]Looking for a[Am]nother[Dm] windy [G]day

[CHORUS]
Dorothy was a [C]fool to [Cmaj7]leave, she should have [C]stayed
She had it right [Cmaj7]in her hands, she had it [Bb]made
She could have had it [G]all for keeps, she was a[Dm]fraid [G]
She could have [C]stay[G]ed [Am] [Dm] [Am]

[VERSE 2]
It seems like only[Dm] yester[Am]day [Dm]
But forty years [Am]have all but[Dm] slipped a[G]way [Am]
Since a lonely[Dm] black haired [Am]girl
Was [Dm]taken for her [Am]one and [Dm]only [G]whirl

[CHORUS]
Dorothy was a [C]fool to [Cmaj7]leave, she could have [C]stayed
She had it right [Cmaj7]in her hands, she had it [Bb]made
She could have had it [G]all for keeps, but was a[Dm]fraid [G]
She could have [C]stay[G]ed [Em]

[BRIDGE]
Same old bluebird[Dm] flying high [Em]
Over rainbows in that [Dm]Kansas sky
Why, oh [Am]why
Oh [Dm]why_[G]__ [Am]

[VERSE 3]
I guess it only[Dm] serves her [Am]right [Dm]
For trading all that [Am]colour[Dm] for black and [G]white [Am]
All her sorrow,[Dm] all be[Am]cause
There [Dm]ain’t no way to stand [Am]Kansas[Dm] when you’ve been to [G]Oz

[CHORUS]
Dorothy was a [C]fool to [Cmaj7]leave, she should have [C]stayed
She had it right [Cmaj7]in her hands, she had it [Bb]made
She could have had it [G]all for keeps, she was a[Dm]fraid [G]
She could have [C]stay[G]ed
She could have [C]stay[G]ed
She could have [C]stayed [Dm] [Am] [Dm] [Am]
