Verse 1:
E minorEm       E minorEm
I was born on a river of maize
E minorEm            E minorEm
crops grew strong and the cattle grazed
   A minorAm   A minorAm        E minorEm    E minorEm
and I wonder  if things have changed
  E minorEm          E minorEm
The rivers flowed and the valleys were green
E minorEm               E minorEm
kids spent their summers in the apple trees
   A minorAm   A minorAm       E minorEm   E minorEm B7B7 B7       E minorEm   E minorEm
and I wonder,  oh my how I wonder,   if things have changed

Verse 2:
  E minorEm          E minorEm
The famine hit us and the wells dried up
   E minorEm             E minorEm
when there's no water boy you're straight out of luck
   A minorAm   A minorAm        E minorEm    E minorEm
and I wonder  if things have changed
E minorEm           E minorEm
Crops perished there's nothing to pick
  E minorEm           E minorEm
The cattle are dead and the kids are all sick
   A minorAm   A minorAm       E minorEm   E minorEm B7B7 B7       E minorEm   E minorEm
and I wonder,  oh my how I wonder,   if things have changed

Pre-Chorus:
A minorAm           A minorAm
Winter's on us and the rust sets in
E minorEm        E minorEm
so many men give in to the drink
A minorAm             A minorAm
They take the farm and they take the land
  B7B7               B7B7
the bank no longer cares about them ten year plans
   A minorAm   A minorAm       E minorEm   E minorEm B7B7 B7       E minorEm   E minorEm
and I wonder,  oh my how I wonder,   if things have changed

Chorus:
G+G             G+G                D MajorD   D MajorD
Payments past due and the banks have got the right to say no sir
A minorAm      A minorAm            E minorEm  E minorEm
no more time to make it all right for you
  G+G      G+G        D MajorD         D MajorD
But nothing ever changes and the breaks they don't come

    A minorAm       A minorAm        D MajorD   D MajorD
You can holler and pray till the day is done
   A minorAm   A minorAm       E minorEm   E minorEm B7B7 B7       E minorEm   E minorEm
and I wonder,  oh my how I wonder,   if things have changed

Verse 3:
E minorEm          E minorEm
Everybody knows that nothings for free
  E minorEm            E minorEm
the toll man came and took it all from me
   A minorAm   A minorAm        E minorEm    E minorEm
and I wonder  if things have changed
   E minorEm            E minorEm
They take your money leave you homeless and cold
  E minorEm            E minorEm
and if they want it you will mortgage your soul
   A minorAm   A minorAm       E minorEm   E minorEm B7B7 B7       E minorEm   E minorEm
and I wonder,  oh my how I wonder,   if things have changed

Pre-Chorus:
A minorAm            A minorAm
When you're rich you got nothing but time
    E minorEm           E minorEm
you'll never do a day for your god damn crimes
A minorAm       A minorAm
Years pass but things stay the same
  B7B7           B7B7
cos everybody's playing the same damn game
   A minorAm   A minorAm       E minorEm   E minorEm B7B7 B7       E minorEm   E minorEm
and I wonder,  oh my how I wonder,   if things have changed

Chorus:
G+G       G+G  D MajorD           D MajorD
The man of the land hollers and chants for rain
  A minorAm            A minorAm         E minorEm  E minorEm
the preacher man down on his knees is doing the same
  G+G      G+G        D MajorD       D MajorD
but nothing ever changes and the rain it don't come
    A minorAm       A minorAm        D MajorD   D MajorD
you can holler and pray till the day is done
   A minorAm   A minorAm       E minorEm   E minorEm B7B7 B7       E minorEm   E minorEm
and I wonder,  oh my how I wonder,   if things have changed
