Dust Bowl Blues Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G]

[Verse 1]
[G]I just blowed in,
and I got them dust bowl blues,
I just blowed in,
and I got them dust bowl blues,
I just [D]blowed in, and I'll blow back out [G]again.

[Verse 2]
[G]I guess you've heard about
ev'ry kind of blues,
I guess you've heard about
ev'ry kind of blues,
But when the dust [D]gets high,
you can't even see [G]the sky.

[Verse 3]
[G]
I've seen the dust so black that
I couldn't see a thing,
I've seen the dust so black
that I couldn't see a thing,
And the wind [D]so cold, boy,
it nearly cut your water [G]off.

[Verse 4]
[G]
I seen the wind so high that it
blowed my fences down,
I've seen the wind so high that it
blowed my fences down,
Buried [D]my tractor six feet under[G]ground.

[Verse 5]
[G]
Well, it turned my farm into a pile of sand,
Yes, it turned my farm into a pile of sand,
I had [D]to hit that road with
a bottle in my [G]hand.

[Verse 6]
[G]
I spent ten years down
in that old dust bowl,
I spent ten years down in that
old dust bowl,
When you [D]get that dust pneumony, boy,
it's time [G]to go.

[Verse 7]
[G]I had a gal, and she was young and sweet,
I had a gal, and she was young and sweet,
But a dust [D]storm buried her
sixteen hundred [G]feet.

[Verse 8]
[G]
She was a good gal, long, tall and stout,
Yes, she was a good gal,
long, tall and stout,
I had to [D]get a steam shovel just to
dig my darlin' [G]out.

[Verse 9]
[G]
These dusty blues are
the dustiest ones I know,
These dusty blues are
the dustiest ones I know,
Buried head [D]over heels
in the black old dust,
I had to pack up [G]and go.
An' I just [D]blowed in,
an' I'll soon blow out [G]again.
