  			C 
Dusty skies I can't see nothing in sight 

F                                    C 
Good old Dan you'll have to guide me right 

                       F           C 
If we lose our way the cattle will stray 

F                       C 
And we'll lose them all tonight 

F                                  C 
Cause all of the grass and water's gone 

F                                    C 
We'll have to keep the cattle moving on 


C 
Sand blowing I just can't breathe in this air 

F                                    C 
I thought it would soon be clear and fair 

                                 F                 C 
But dust storms played hell with land and folks as well 

F                C 
Got to be moving somewhere 

F                              C 
Hate to leave the old ranch so bare 

F                     C 
I've got to be moving somewhere 


C 
Get along doggies we're moving off of this range 

F                                   C 
I never thought as how I'd make the change 

                              F                 C 
The blue skies have failed so we're on our last trail 

F                      C 
Underneath these dusty skies 

F                       C 
These ain't tears in my eyes  

F                          C 
Just sand from these dusty skies
