[Dm]
[Bb]I remember the [Dm]dark clouds r[C]aining dust for days on [Bb]end
[Bb]Blew all the [C]Earth out to [Dm]California
[C]Just left us here with the w[Bb]ind
[Bb]Desperate times, you know [Dm]everbody's part
[C]It's your own lines you'd like to[Bb] forget
[Bb]Till what you were [C]meets what you've [Dm]now become
[C]And grins and says Hey, haven't we [Bb]met[Dm]
[Dm] [Am] [Bb] [F] [C] [Dm]
[Bb]Lost my first born that[Dm] Winter
[C]My wife on the first day of [Bb]Spring
[Bb]So I [C]poured my sweat [Dm]to the Earth
[C]to see what that harvest would [Bb]bring
[Bb]And I remember how the [Dm]fury
[C]just like a plague of [Bb]locusts
[Bb]Egypt's [C]punishment for [Dm]sins of pride
Is [C]that now what has come o[Bb]ver us
[Bb]How [Dm]much of this was [C]meant to be
H[Dm]ow much the [C]work of the D[Bb]evil
How [C]far can one man's [Dm]eyes really [Bb]see
In these d[Dm]ays of t[C]oil and t[Bb]rouble [Dm]
[Dm] [Am] [Bb] [F] [C] [Dm]
[Bb]Honey, we're all [Dm]resplendent,
Yeah [C]honey, we are all thrift st[Bb]ore
Like a [C]wine-o with a $20 [Dm]bill
[C]Yeah, forever and eternally [Bb]yours
[Bb]And I can make you [Dm]promises
[C]If you don't expect too [Bb]much,
Bb c Dm
Yes, and I will run the distance
If you'll [C]please, please excuse my [Bb]crutch
[Bb]How [Dm]much of this was [C]meant to be
[Dm]How much the[C] work of the [Bb]Devil
How [C]far can one man's [Dm]eyes really [Bb]see
In these d[Dm]ays of t[C]oil and t[Bb]rouble
[Bb]How [Dm]much of this is [C]failing flesh
[Dm]How much a [C]course of retri[Bb]bution
[Bb]My, my, how loudly we [C]plead our [Dm]innoc[Bb]ence
[Dm]Long after we [C]made our [Bb]contrib[Dm]ution
