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