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