Dust Bowl Dance

	  		

    C        G#             A#           D# 
The young man stands on the edge of his porch 
    F        C            F         G 
The days were short and the father was gone 
          C            G#        A#             D# 
There was no one in the town and no one in the field 
     F           C             F           G 
This dusty barren land had given all it could yield 



          C            G#           A#         D# 
I've been kicked off my land at the age of sixteen 
    F          C               F               G 
And I have no idea where else my heart could have been 
  C            G#            A#            D# 
I placed all my trust at the foot of this hill 
     F      C               F       G 
And now I am sure my heart can never be still 
   C           G#              A#         D# 
So collect your courage and collect your horse 
     F            C             F        G 
And pray you never feel this same kind of remorse 



 
C      G#         A#        D# 
Seal my heart and brake my pride 
     F         C            F         G 
I've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide 
 C      G#         A#        D# 
Align my heart, my body, my mind 
   F             C       F    G 
To face what I've done and do my time 

      C        G#            A#          D# 
Well you are my accuser, now look in my face 
F             C            F        G 
Your opression reeks of your greed and disgrace 
   C      G#         A#         D# 
So one man has and another has not 
F          C           F          G 
How can you love what it is you have got 
         C          G#             A#            D# 
When you took it all from the weak hands of the poor? 
F        C                   F         G 
Liars and thieves you know not what is in store 

      C          G#           A#            D# 
There will come a time I will look in your eye 
    F               C           F         G 
You will pray to the God that you always denied 
    C          G#             A#      D# 
The I'll go out back and I'll get my gun 
               F      C               F   G 
I'll say, "You haven't met me, I am the only son" 

C      G#         A#        D# 
Seal my heart and brake my pride 
     F         C            F         G 
I've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide 
 C      G#         A#        D# 
Align my heart, my body, my mind 
   F             C       F    G 
To face what I've done and do my time

     C       G#        A#          D# 
Well yes sir, yes sir, yes it was me 
  F             C            F             G 
I know what I've done, cause I know what I've seen 
C         G#          A#      D# 
I went out back and I got my gun 
             F      C               F   G 
I said, "You haven't met me, I am the only son"
