Intro
A F#m
[Verse]
A F#m
I was born during the hard
A F#m
Depression day, oh Lord
A F#m
In July down in South Georgia
A F#m
Where the sun was hot as a blaze
A F#m
My folk was sharecroppers
A F#m
At the end of the year
A F#m
We had nothing, we had nothing
A F#m
We had nothing but grasshoppers
[Chorus]
E D
Looking back over my life
A F#m
Oh Lord, I'm so depressed
A F#m
Help me somebody, I need some rest
A F#m
Oh Lord, I'm so depressed
[Verse]
A F#m
But I hitchhiked to New York City
A F#m
Chicago, Cleveland, and Detroit
A F#m
Singing Looooord I'm strong
A F#m
Everywhere I went alone
A F#m
But everything I do is wrong
[Chorus]
E D
Looking back over my life
A F#m
Oh Lord, I'm so depressed
A F#m
Help me right now, I need some rest
A F#m
Oh Lord, I'm so depressed
[Verse]
A F#m
I need somebody, to call my own
A F#m
Not just a roof, over my head
A F#m
But a place, that I call home
A F#m
Kiss me baby, squeeze me tight
A F#m
Squeeze me sugar, squeeze me all night
[Chorus]
E D
Looking back over my life
A F#m
Oh Lord, I'm so depressed
A F#m
Help me somebody, I'm so depressed
A F#m
Oh Lord, I need some rest
A F#m
Oh Lord, I'm so depressed
