Verse 1
I re (E minor) member that summer
I was (C major) ten years old
When our (G major) days ceased to shine (D major)
No, you could (E minor) not take a breath
When (G major) those black (C major) blizzards came
Strippin' land (G major) in dire need of rain (D major)
There was dirt (E minor) on the floor
As mama swept (C major) all day long
Leavin' trails (G major) of tears and
mud down her face (D major)
There was dirt (E minor) in our beds
And there (G major) was (C major) dirt in our clothes
And there was (G major) dirt in the little that we (D major) ate
We had (E minor) heard about
the market's fall (G major)
A couple (C major) years before
But the fields (G major) and the harvest
all seemed fine (D major)
Sometimes (E minor) the things that kill us
(C major) That which we don't know
That strip (G major) the land of everything but pride
(D major)

Verse 2
(G major) Stay close together (E minor)
That's all we knew to get by (D major) (Asus4) (D major)
I re (G major) call a helpless feelin'
(E minor) First time that I saw (D major)
my father cry (C major)
Lookin' back on everything we had (G major)
On everything we lost (D major)
(G major) Still makes me wonder (E minor)
Was stayin' worth (D major) the cost?
Verse 3
(D major)
Lotta town (E minor) folk up and left
(G major) They boarded up (C major) the schools and
banks and the churches (G major) (D major)
And that, to (G major) me, (B minor) was wrong (D major)
Come next (E minor) year, it would be better (D major)
For the last (C major) one standin' tall
for the ones (G major) (D major)
That showed (G major) the most (D major) resolve
They announced (E minor) the New Deal
With the Conser (D major) va (C major) tion Act
and then the Relief (G major) Fund
But we were on our knees (D major)
There was little (E minor) hope by then
So we just stood (C major) there in that line
And we thanked (G major) the man for
that little bit of cheese
(D major)
Verse 4
(G major) We stay close together (E minor)
That's all we knew to get by (D major)
How I re (G major) call a helpless feelin' (E minor)
The first time that I saw (D major)
my father cry (C major)
Lookin' back on everything we had (G major)
And on everything we (D major) lost
(G major) Still makes me wonder (E minor)
Was stayin' worth (D major) the cost?
