Bb Dm C Bb
I remember the dark clouds raining dust for days on end
Bb C Dm
Blew all the Earth out to California
C Bb
Just left us here with the wind
Bb Dm
Desperate times, you know everbody's part
C Bb
It's your own lines you'd like to forget
Bb C Dm
Till what you were meets what you've now become
C Bb Dm
And grins and says Hey, haven't we met
Dm Am Bb F C Dm
Bb Dm
Lost my first born that Winter
C Bb
My wife on the first day of Spring
Bb C Dm
So I poured my sweat to the Earth
C Bb
to see what that harvest would bring
Bb Dm
And I remember how the fury
C Bb
just like a plague of locusts
Bb C Dm
Egypt's punishment for sins of pride
C Bb
Is that now what has come over us
Bb Dm C
How much of this was meant to be
Dm C Bb
How much the work of the Devil
C Dm Bb
How far can one man's eyes really see
Dm C Bb Dm
In these days of toil and trouble
Dm Am Bb F C Dm
Bb Dm
Honey, we're all resplendent,
C Bb
Yeah honey, we are all thrift store
C Dm
Like a wine-o with a $20 bill
C Bb
Yeah, forever and eternally yours
Bb Dm
And I can make you promises
C Bb
If you don't expect too much,
Bb c Dm
Yes, and I will run the distance
C Bb
If you'll please, please excuse my crutch
Bb Dm C
How much of this was meant to be
Dm C Bb
How much the work of the Devil
C Dm Bb
How far can one man's eyes really see
Dm C Bb
In these days of toil and trouble
Bb Dm C
How much of this is failing flesh
Dm C Bb
How much a course of retribution
Bb C Dm Bb
My, my, how loudly we plead our innocence
Dm C Bb Dm
Long after we made our contribution
