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