Pastures Of Plenty Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]It's a mighty hard row that
my poor hands have hoed
My [G]poor feet have traveled
that hot [B]dusty road
[Em]Out of the dust bowl and
westward we rolled
Your desert was hot and your
[A]mountains [Em]were cold

[Verse 2]
I've [Em]worked in your orchards
of peaches and prunes
I've [G]slept on the ground in
the light of your [B]moon
On the [Em]edge of your city you've
seen us and then
We come with the dust and we
[A]go [Em]with the wind

[Verse 3]
[Em]California, arizona, I make all your crops
Then [G]north up to [Em]oregon to
[G]gather [B]your hogs
Pull the [Em]beets from your ground,
cut the grapes [B]from your [Em]vine
To set on your table your [A]light,
sparkling [C]wine

[Verse 4]
Green [Em]pastures of plenty from
dry desert ground
From the [G]grand coulee dam where
the water runs [B]down
Every [Em]state in this union us
migrants have been
We'll work in your fight and we'll
[A]fight til we [Em]win
[A][Am][Em]

[Verse 5]
Well it's always we ramble that river and I
[B]All[G] along your green
valley I'll work til I [B]die
My [Em]land I'll defend with
my life if need be
Cause my pastures of plenty must [A]always be
[Em]free
