[Intro 1]
[A][G][A][Em][A][Em][D][Em][Esus4]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
Walkin' [Em]these rusty tracks
Put just the sun on my back
People that I see
They stop and stare at me
Look at their fields and yards
The ground is cracked and [A]hard
[Em]They don't know how to explain
You live in wheat and no rain
[A]The[D]y read the papers and
they [A]watch the [Em]news
[C]They say the government
will [D]get them [Em]through
[D]They search the heavens
and they [A]wonder [C]why
[D]It's [G]just an [Em]empty [G]sky[A][Em]
Cotton blossoms fall,
won't be no cotton at all
The corn's all shriveled up,
soybeans ain't big enough
[Esus4]Cloud s of dus[Em]t in the air
They're digging wells everywhere
There's some crazy old man
Said there's a curse on the land
[D]They got a scientist to [A]check the [Em]air
[C]A famous preacher
praying [D]fancy pray[Em]ers
[D]But no matter what they [A]seem to [C]try
[D]It's just an [Em]empty [D]sky[Em]

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 2]
Whitebird [Em]on a[G] pose
[A]Loo[G]ks lik[Em]e the[G] Holy Gho[A]st
[G]He's just on his way through
Not much round here to [A]do
[G]And if you're busted and dow[Em]n[G]
Pass right on by this town
[Em]You'll see their [G]hearts are as hard
[Em]As t[D]here feels[G] in your heart[Em]
[D]I'm glad you stopped the rain
for [A]three long [Em]years
[C]No one seems to [D]know about [Em]that here
[D]Pray to heaven and they [A]seem sur[C]prised
It's just an empty sky
