  Cane smoke can't be good for you  ...day after day,

  Every year at harvest time,
      D MajorD          E minorEm
When the black smoke filled the sky,

  She'd pick me up and take me home,

And make me     ...stay in - side------!

  Thibodaux to Raceland, there's fire in the fields,
 C majorC          G+G        D MajorD        E minorEm
All the way up the bayou, from La - fourche to Iber - ville,
    C majorC      G+G      D MajorD      E minorEm
Dirty air, dirty laundry, dirty money, dirty rain,
  C majorC       G+G    D MajorD   Dsus4Dsus4    D MajorD  E minorEm  G+G
A augmentedA dirty dark at daybreak burning   ...the sugar cane------!

  Driving past the sugar mill,   all the lights are on,
C majorC            G+G
  The parking lot is full of trucks,
    D MajorD        E minorEm  C majorC           G+G
I can see the furnace glow,  everybody's working overtime,
    D MajorD    Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD     C majorC   D MajorD
It's a good job     ...even though-------...

E minorEm        G+G          E minorEm  E minor 7Em7     A augmentedA  Asus4Asus4 A augmentedA
  Cane sugar built this town, cane sugar paved these roads,
C majorC               G+G      D MajorD          E minorEm
  They burn the leaves to harvest cash, money for the compan - y,

A augmentedA dirty dark at daybreak ...burning---------
     C majorC    D MajorD
Yeah, burning-------!


[Verse 4]
   C majorC        G+G       D MajorD        E minorEm
The soot and ash are falling like a dark and deadly snow,
C majorC            G+G       D MajorD      E minorEm
  The air is full of poison to the Gulf of Mexi - co,
    C majorC      G+G       D MajorD      E minorEm
Dirty air, dirty laundry, dirty money, dirty rain,
  C majorC          G+G    D MajorD  Dsus4Dsus4    D MajorD  E minorEm   G+G
A augmentedA dirty deal with the Devil, burning  ...the sugar cane--------!
