Chords with lyrics

G minorGm                      C minorCm
My father?s name was Hannibal, Mama was Hanna-Mariah.
                     D MajorD           G minorGm
Everything we owned got all burned up in the great depression fire
G minorGm                          C minorCm
Strip mines and one crop farming drained the green earth dry.
                      D MajorD                 G minorGm
We lost it all till only love was left, and that was the one thing money can?t buy.

G minorGm
We?re all Dust Bowl Children
C minorCm
Singin? the dust bowl song
G minorGm
Well, the crops won?t grow,
And the dust just blows
       C minorCm
When the green fields are gone.
               D MajorD
When the green grass growing fields are gone.
   G minorGm        C minorCm
When the green fields are gone.
               D MajorD     G minorGm
When the green grass growing fields are gone.

Well, they said in California, there?s work of every kind.
The only work that I got out there was waiting on a welfare line.
Once I had a dollar, once I had a dream.
Now all the work is being done by a big ole machine.

We?re all Dust Bowl Children
Singin? the dust bowl song
And the crops won?t grow,
And the dust just blows
When the green fields are gone.
When the green grass growing fields are gone.
When the green fields are gone.
When the green grass growing fields are gone.
