  			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
