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