The [C] hand that settled down hard on [G] a gutter in the grain,
[C] six miles of feed and [D] forty acres to plant, and the rain [Em] came down.

[C] They'll wash you away and [D] there ain't never enough.
[G] They'll turn the winter and other year down, [C] over and over [D] again.
[G] Some took their lives from the land and moved out, [C] some stayed on the plow that's [D] back in.
