[Verse]
G#m
I remember that summer
E
I was ten years old
B F#
When our days ceased to shine
G#m
No, you could not take a breath
E
When those black blizzards came
B F#
Strippin' land in dire need of rain
[Verse]
G#m
There was dirt on the floor
E
As mama swept all day long
B F#
Leavin' trails of tears and mud down her face
G#m
There was dirt in our beds
E
And there was dirt in our clothes
B F#
And there was dirt in the little that we ate
[Verse]
G#m
We had heard about the market's fall
E
B couple years before
B F#
But the fields and the harvest all seemed fine
G#m
Sometimes the things that kill us
E
That which we don't know
B F#
That strip the land of everything but pride
[Chorus]
B
Stay close together
G#m F# F# F# F#
That's all we knew to get by
B
I recall a helpless feelin'
G#m F#
First time that I sa-aw my father cry
E B
Looking back on everything we had
F# F# F# F#
And on everything we lost
B G#m
Still makes me wonder
F# F# F# F#
Was staying wo-rth the cost
[Verse]
G#m
B lot of town folk up and left
E
They boarded up the schools and banks
B
And the churches
F#
And that, to me, was wrong
G#m
Come next year, it would be better
E
For the last one standing tall
B F#
For the ones - that showed the most resolve
[Verse]
G#m
They announced the New Deal
E
With the Conservation Act and then
B F#
The Relief Fund - we were on our knees
G#m
There was little hope by then
E
So we just stood there in that line
B F#
And we thanked the man for that little bit of cheese
[Chorus]
B
Stay close together
G#m F# F# F# F#
That's all we knew to get by
B
I recall a helpless feelin'
G#m F#
First time that I sa-aw my father cry
E B
Looking back on everything we had
F# F# F# F#
And on everything we lost
B G#m
Still makes me wonder
F# F# F# F#
Was staying wo-rth the cost
[Outro]
