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
