Judy Collins - Dorothy

Living in Kansas, a ^Dmlife a^Amlone ^Dm She never ^Ammarried,^Dm she’s hardly ^Gknown ^Am She stares out the window,^Dm far a^Amway ^DmLooking for a^Amnother^Dm windy ^Gday

Dorothy was a ^Cfool to ^Cmaj7leave, she should have ^Cstayed She had it right ^Cmaj7in her hands, she had it ^Bbmade She could have had it ^Gall for keeps, she was a^Dmfraid ^G She could have ^Cstay^Ged ^{Am Dm Am}

It seems like only^Dm yester^Amday ^Dm But forty years ^Amhave all but^Dm slipped a^Gway ^Am Since a lonely^Dm black haired ^Amgirl Was ^Dmtaken for her ^Amone and ^Dmonly ^Gwhirl

Dorothy was a ^Cfool to ^Cmaj7leave, she could have ^Cstayed She had it right ^Cmaj7in her hands, she had it ^Bbmade She could have had it ^Gall for keeps, but was a^Dmfraid ^G She could have ^Cstay^Ged ^Em

Same old bluebird^Dm flying high ^Em Over rainbows in that ^DmKansas sky Why, oh ^Amwhy Oh ^Dmwhy_^G__ ^Am

I guess it only^Dm serves her ^Amright ^Dm For trading all that ^Amcolour^Dm for black and ^Gwhite ^Am All her sorrow,^Dm all be^Amcause There ^Dmain’t no way to stand ^AmKansas^Dm when you’ve been to ^GOz
