[Verse]
D           Bm              G      A7      D
Dust on the river where the waters used to flow
A7                        G               D
Weeds in the garden where flowers used to grow
                Bm          G          A7      D
A heart that is weary where hopes were once so high
     A7                            G          D
This dust has even blotted out the sun in the sky (in the sky)
G              A7     G                 D
Can't remember clouds, can't recall the breeze
A7                                                    G               D
Burning (burning) in the shade (in the shade), but no leaves upon the trees
     G                 A7       G                D
This land's been in my family a hundred years or more
E                           A7
Can't live on this land and I can't afford to go (to go, to go)
    D                Bm            G          A7      D
God won't forget his children, the rains will come, I know
          A7
Wash this dust (this dust) from the river (from the river)
        G                D
Let the waters once more flow (once more flow)

[Outro]
    D                Bm            G          A7      D
God won't forget his children, the rains will come, I know
          A7
Wash this dust (this dust) from the river (from the river)
        G                D
Let the waters once more flow
