14th day of April of 1935
D
G
that ever filled the sky
C

You could see the dust storm coming,
G
C
G
And through our mighty nation
G
C
G
From Oklahoma City,
D
G
to the Arizona line,
C
G
Dakota and Nebraska,
D
G
to the lazy Rio Grande.
C
G
It fell across our city,
G
C
G
We thought it was our judgment,
D
G
we thought it was our doom
G
D
we listened with alarm
G
C
G
To the wild and windy actions
G
C
G
D
G
C
G
D
G
C
G
From Abercork and Clovis
G
C
G
They said it was the blackest
D
G
that ever they had salt from
G
D
Kansas the dust had run their nail
G
C
and a few more comrades
G
D
sleepin' on top of old Blue Hill
G
C
from Denver, Colorado
G
D
they said it was so strong
G
C
G
they thought that they could hold out
D
G
C
but they didn't know how long our relatives
G
D
G
were huddled into their old boom shacks
C
G
and the children they were crying
G
C
Our family was crowded
G
D
into their little room
G
C
They thought the world had ended
G
D
and they thought it was their
G
C

doom
C
G
The storm took place at sundown,
G
C
G
When we awoke next morning,
D
G
we saw a terrible sight
C
G
We saw outside our window
G
C
G
Was now a rippling ocean
G
C
G
It covered up our fences,
D
G
it covered up our barns
C
G
It covered up our tractors
D
G
in this wild and dusty storm
C
G
We loaded our jalopies
D
G
and piled our families in
C
G
We rattled down the highway
D
G
C
G
D
to never come back again
G
D
I'm not the same
