The Drought Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][Ab][C][Ab][G]

[Verse 1]
(You [C]can dam out the
water and [G]shut the [C]wind out)
But a [G]man ain't been born who can

[Verse 2]
destroy a drought
[G]
There's a hot screaming [C]wind at my [G]door
but I just [C]don't care any[G]more
There's a [C]crop killing drought on the [G]way
and my good woman she left me today
Oh she stayed just [C]as long as she [G]could but
then the farm has not [C]treated us [G]good
She [C]begged me to pack up an[G]d go
but then farming is [D]all [G]that I know
You can [C]dam out the

[Interlude 1]
water...
[G][C][G][Ab][G]

[Verse 3]
She [G]cried as [C]if I were to [G]blame but the
Lord knows I [C]can't make it [G]rain
There's [C]a hot screaming sun up in [G]the sky
it's so still I can hear the grass die
So I'll wait for [C]the coolness of [G]dark
and bear up to this [C]pain in my [G]heart
And I'll [C]pray with the coming of each [G]dawn
that this crop killing [D]drought [G]will be gone
You can [C]dam out the water...

[Outro 1]
