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