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