Verse 1
(G major) It's a mighty rough road
that my poor hand (E minor) has owed
My (G major) poor feet have travelled
a hot dusty (E minor) road
(G major) Out of your dust bowl
and westward we rode
(E minor) Your deserts were hot
and your mountains were cold
I (G major) worked in your orchards
of peaches and prunes
(E minor) I (G major) slept on your ground
meet the light of (E minor) your moon
At the edge (G major) of your city
you see us and then
(E minor) We come with the dust
and are gone with the wind
(G major) California, Arizona,
I'll make all your crops
(E minor) Then (G major) it's north up to Oregon
to gather your hops
(E minor) Take (G major) the beets from your ground,
take the grapes from your vine
(E minor) To lay on your table your light sparkling
Green (G major) pastures are plenty
from dry desert (E minor) ground
From (G major) the Grand Coulee Dam
where the water (E minor) run s down
Every state (G major) in this union,
us migrants have been
(E minor) And workers must fight
and move far till we win
Well it's al (G major) ways we ramble,
that river and I
(E minor) All (G major) along your green valleys,
I'll work till I die (E minor)
This land (G major) I'll defend with my life if it be
(E minor) Cause pastures are plenty,
must always be free (G major) (E minor) (G major)
Thank (E minor) you for
