Dust Bowl

Em G Em G

[Verse 1:]
Em        G  C               G
I should know to leave them home
Em          G                    
They follow me through the store 
        C                  G
with these toys I can't afford
Em     G                   
Kids, take them back, you know 
A7              Cmaj7
better than that
            Em                   
Dolls that talk, astronauts, t.v. 
  G
games, airplanes
      A7                 Cmaj7
They don't understand and how can I 
explain?

[Chorus 1:]
G D/F#    Em      D        C
I try and try but I can't save
G        D/F#     Em       D   C
Pennies, nickels dollars slip away
G    D/F#       Em       D      
I've tried and tried but I can't 
  C
save

[Verse 2:]
Em    G             C             G
My youngest girl has bad fever, sure
Em             G           C    
All night with alcohol to cool 
            G
and rub her down
Em         G          A7         
Ruby, I'm tired, try and get some
  Cmaj7
 sleep
         Em               G
I'm adding doctor's fees to remedies

A7             Cmaj7
With the cost of three day's work 
lost

[Chorus 1:]
G D/F#    Em      D        C
I try and try but I can't save
G        D/F#     Em       D   C
Pennies, nickels dollars slip away
G    D/F#       Em       D      
I've tried and tried but I can't 
  C
save

[Chorus 2:]
    G       D/F#     Em       D C
The hole in my pocketbook is growing
C                    D
There's a new wind blowing they say
      G                    Em
It's gonna be a cold, cold one
    C                D
So brace yourselves my darlings
    G        D C
It won't bring anything much our way
              Em
But more bust bowl days

[Verse 3:]
Em    G             C             G
I played a card in this weeks game
Em             G           C    
Took the first and the last 
            G
letters in three of their names
Em         G          A7         
This lottery's been building up 
  Cmaj7
for weeks
         Em               G
I could be lucky me with the five 
million prize
A7             Cmaj7
Tears of disbelief spilling out of 
my eyes

[Chorus 1:]
G D/F#    Em      D        C
I try and try but I can't save
G        D/F#     Em       D   C
Pennies, nickels dollars slip away
G    D/F#       Em       D      
I've tried and tried but I can't 
  C
save

[Chorus 2:]
    G       D/F#     Em       D C
The hole in my pocketbook is growing
C                    D
There's a new wind blowing they say
      G                    Em
It's gonna be a cold, cold one
    C                D
So brace yourselves my darlings
    G        D C
It won't bring anything much our way
              Em
But more bust bowl days
