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