For the verses he seems to only use the C majorC and G+G chords with his usual alternating bass
and some hammer ons.

Verse 1
C majorC          C majorC
I'm a dust bowl refugee,
C majorC          G+G
Just a dust bowl refugee,
C majorC          C majorC
From that dust bowl to the peach bowl,
C majorC        G+G         C majorC
Now that peach fuzz is a-killin' me.

Verse 2
C majorC          C majorC
'Cross the mountains to the sea,
C majorC          G+G
Come the wife and kids and me.
C majorC          C majorC
It's a hot old dusty highway
C majorC      G+G     C majorC
For a dust bowl refugee.

Verse 3
C majorC          C majorC
Hard, it's always been that way,
C majorC          G+G
Here today and on our way
C majorC          C majorC
Down that mountain, 'cross the desert,
C majorC      G+G     C majorC
Just a dust bowl refugee.

Verse 4
C majorC          C majorC
We are ramblers, so they say,
C majorC          G+G
We are only here today,
C majorC          C majorC
Then we travel with the seasons,
C majorC        G+G    C majorC
We're the dust bowl refugees.

Verse 5
C majorC          C majorC
From the south land and the drought land,
C majorC          G+G
Come the wife and kids and me,
C majorC          C majorC
And this old world is a hard world
C majorC     G+G    C majorC
For a dust bowl refugee.

Verse 6
C majorC          C majorC
Yes, we ramble and we roam
C majorC          G+G
And the highway that's our home,
C majorC          C majorC
It's a never-ending highway
C majorC     G+G     C majorC
For a dust bowl refugee.

Verse 7
C majorC          C majorC
Yes, we wander and we work
C majorC          G+G
In your crops and in your fruit,
C majorC          C majorC
Like the whirlwinds on the desert
C majorC        G+G    C majorC
That's the dust bowl refugees.

Verse 8
C majorC          C majorC
I'm a dust bowl refugee,
C majorC          G+G
I'm a dust bowl refugee,
C majorC          C majorC
And I wonder will I always
C majorC    G+G     C majorC
Be a dust bowl refugee?
