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

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

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

G                         G                               D      D
Payments past due and the banks have got the right to say no sir
Am           Am                       Em    Em
no more time to make it all right for you
    G            G               D                 D
But nothing ever changes and the breaks they don't come

        Am             Am               D     D
You can holler and pray till the day is done
      Am     Am             Em     Em B7 B7             Em      Em
and I wonder,   oh my how I wonder,      if things have changed

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

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

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