The Great Dust Storm Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]On the 14t[G]h day of Apr[D]il of 193[A]5[D]
They struck the worst of dust storms
that [A]ever filled the [D]sky
You could [G]see that dust storm [D]coming
The [A]sky looked to death like [D]black
Throughout our mighty nation
It [E]left a [A]terrible [D]track
From [G]Denver, Colorado
[D]To the old[A] Arizona lin[D]e
We thought it was our judgment
We [E]thought it [A]was our [D]time
Well, the [G]radio reported
[D]As we lis[A]tened with ala[D]rm
To the wild and windy action
Of the [E]great mys[A]terious [D]storm
From Ok[G]lahoma City
[D]to the sho[A]res of the Rio Gra[D]nde
They said that they could hold out,
they [E]did [A]not know how lon[D]g
[G][D][A][D][E][A]
[D]
Well, my [G]relatives were [D]huddled
inside [A]of their old [D]shacks
And the children, they were crying
as the [E]storm whispered [A]at the [D]crack
The [G]storm began on [D]sundown,
and it [A]lasted through the [D]night
When we awoke that morning,
we saw [E]a t[A]errible s[D]ight
It had [G]covered up our [D]fences,
all the [A]crops that we had [D]grown
Was now a rippling ocean,
of [E]dust the [A]wind had [D]blown
Well, we [G]filed our ja[D]lopy,
said good[A]bye to all our [D]friends
And wandered up down that [G]high[D]way
Nev[E]er to re[A]turn [D]again
Oh, [G]never [Em]to r[E]eturn [A]again
[D]
