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