Chords

[Intro] 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
