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