Hungry Eyes Chords

[Intro]
D D D A
 
 
[Verse 1]
  D              D          G             D
A canvas-covered cabin in a crowded labor camp
       D          A
Stand out in this memory I revive
           D              D
Because my Daddy raised a family there
     G                D
With two hard-working hands
    D                A             D
And tried to feed my Mama's hungry eyes
 
 
[Verse 2]
D                       D
He dreamed of something better
       G                D
And my Mama's faith was strong
       D                           A
And us kids were just too young to realize
D                                   G              D
That another class of people put us somewhere just below
         D             A             D
One more reason for my Mama's hungry eyes
 
 
[Chorus]
D                  G            D
Mama never had the luxuries she wanted
       D                G            D
But it wasn't 'cause my Daddy didn't try
D                G                D
She only wanted things she really needed
D                      A             D
One more reason for my Mama's hungry eyes
 
 
[Verse 3]
D                D             G             D
I remember Daddy praying for a better way of life
      D              D             A
But I don't recall a change of any size
       D              D
Just a little loss of courage
         G            D
As their age began to show
         D             A             D
And more sadness in my Mama's hungry eyes
 
 
[Chorus]
     D             G            D
Mama never had the luxuries she wanted
        D               G            D
But it wasn't 'cause my daddy didn't try
    D           G                 D
She only wanted things she really needed
         D             A             D
One more reason for my Mama's hungry eyes
      D               A             D
Oh, I still recall my Mama's hungry eyes
