Dust Storm Disaster Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]On the[G] 14th day of Apr[D]il of [A]193[D]5,
There struck the [G]worst of [D]dust storms
that [A]ever filled the [D]sky.
You could [G]see that dust storm [D]comin',
the cloud looked [A]deathlike [D]black,
And through our [G]mighty [D]nation,
it [A]left a dreadful [D]track.

[Verse 2]
From [G]Oklahoma [D]City to the
Ari[A]zona [D]line,
Dakota [G]and [D]Nebraska
[A]to the lazy Rio [D]Grande,
It [G]fell across our [D]city like a curtain
[A]of black rolled [D]down,
We thought [G]it was our [D]judgement,
[A]we thought it was our [D]doom.

[Verse 3]
The [G]radio repor[D]ted,
we listened [A]with [D]alarm,
The wild [G]and windy [D]actions of this
[A]great [D]mysterious storm;
From [G]Albuquerque and [D]Clovis,
and all New [A]Mex[D]ico,
They said it [G]was [D]the blackest
that [A]ever they had [D]saw.

[Verse 4]
From [G]old Dodge City, [D]Kansas,
the dust had [A]rung their [D]knell,
And a few more [G]comrades [D]sleeping
[A]on top of old Boot [D]Hill.
From [G]Denver, Color[D]ado,
they said [A]it blew so [D]strong,
They thought that [G]they could [D]hold out,
but they [A]didn't know how [D]long.

[Verse 5]
Our [G]relatives were [D]huddled into
their [Em]oil [G]boom s[D]hacks,
And the children [G]they was [D]cryin' as
[A]it whistled through the [D]cracks.
And the [G]family it was [D]crowded
into their [Em]little [A]roo[D]m,
They thought [G]the world had [D]ended,
and they [A]thought it was their [D]doom.

[Verse 6]
[G]The storm took place [D]at sundown,
it lasted [A]through the [D]night,
When we [G]looked out next [D]morning,
we [A]saw a terrible [D]sight.
[G]We saw outside our [D]window where
wheat [A]fields they had [D]grown
Was now a [G]rippling [D]ocean of
[A]dust the wind had [D]blown.

[Verse 7]
It [G]covered up our [D]fences,
it [G]covered up our [D]barns,
It covered [G]up our [D]tractors in
this [A]wild and dusty [D]storm.
We [G]loaded [D]our jalopies and
piled our [A]families [D]in,
We rattled [G]down that [D]highway [A]to

[Outro 1]
never come back again.
