Verse 1
On (C major) the (F major) 14th day of (C major) April of (G major) 1935
(C major) Dust (G major) struck the worst of (C major) dust storms
that (G major) ever filled the (C major) sky
You could (F major) see the dust storm com (C major) ing,
the cloud (G major) looked death -like (C major) black
And (G major) through a mighty na (C major) tion
it (G major) left a dreadful track (C major)
From (F major) Oklahoma City (C major) to the (G major) Arizona line
(C major) Dakota (G major) and Neb (C major) raska
to the (G major) lazy Leo Grand (C major)
It (F major) fell across our (C major) city
like a (G major) curtain of black rolled (C major) down
We (G major) thought it was our (C major) judgement,
we (G major) thought it was our (C major) due (F major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major) (C major) (G major)
(C major) The (F major) early all repor (C major) ted,
we (G major) listened with alarm (C major)
The wild (G major) and windy actions (C major)
of (G major) this mysterious storm (C major)
From (F major) Albuquerque and (C major) Clovis
and (G major) all New Mexico
(C major) They (G major) said it was the (C major) blackest
that (G major) ever they had (C major) saw
From old (F major) Dodge City, (C major) Kansas,
the (G major) dust had wrung their (C major) nail
And a (G major) few more comrades
sleeping (C major) on (G major) top of old Boot (C major) hill
From (F major) Denver, Colorado,
(C major) they said (G major) it blew so (C major) strong
They (G major) thought their neck could (C major) hold out,
but they (G major) didn't know how (C major) long
Our (F major) re latives were huddled (C major)
into (G major) their oil boom (C major) shacks
And the (G major) children, they was cry (C major) ing
as it (G major) whistled through the (C major) cracks
And the (F major) family, it was (C major) crowded
into (G major) their little room (C major)
They thought (G major) the world had (C major) ended,
they (G major) thought it was their (C major) doom
The storm (F major) took place at (C major) sundown,
it (G major) lasted through the (C major) night
When we (G major) looked out next (C major) morning,
we (G major) saw a terrible sight (C major)
We (F major) saw outside our (C major) windows
were wheat (G major) fields they had (C major) grown
It was (G major) now a rippling ocean (C major)
of (G major) dust the wind had (C major) blown
It covered (F major) up our (C major) fences,
it (G major) covered up our (C major) bars
It (G major) covered up our (C major) tractors
in this (G major) wild and dusty storm (C major)
We loaded (F major) our jalapeos (C major)
and (G major) piled our families in (C major)
We (G major) rattled down that (C major) highway
to nev (G major) er come back again (C major) (F major) (C major) (G major) (C major)
We'll (G major) rattle down that (C major) highway
To nev (G major) er come back again (C major)
