Pastures Of Plenty
Tuning: E A D G B E
[verse 1]
D Bm D Bm
It's a long hard row that my poor hands has hoed
D Bm
My poor feet have traveled a hot, dusty road
D Bm
Out of your Dust Bowl and westward we rolled
D Bm G Bm
And your deserts was hot and your mountain were cold
[verse 2]
D Bm D Bm
California and Arizona, I worked all your crops
D Bm
And its North up to Oregon to gather harvest your hops
D Bm
Dig the beets from your ground, cut the grapes from your vine
D Bm G Bm
To set on your table your light, sparkling wine
[verse 3]
D Bm D Bm
I worked in your orchards of peaches and prunes
D Bm
Slept on the ground in the light of your moon
D Bm
On the edge of the city you'll see us and then
D Bm G Bm
We come with the dust and we go with the wind
[verse 4]
D Bm D Bm
Well, it's always we rambled, that river and I
D Bm
All along your green valley, I will work till I die
D Bm
My land I'll defend with my life if it be
D Bm G Bm
'Cause my pastures of plenty must always be free
[verse 5]
D Bm D Bm
Green pastures of plenty from dry desert ground
D Bm
From the Grand Coulee Dam where the waters run down
D Bm
Every state in this Union us migrants have been
D Bm G Bm
We'll work in this fight and we'll fight till we win
