Broken Plow Chords

Capo 5

D#m
Load up the old Dodge truck
Bmaj7
We'll leave what we can't sell
D#m
Nobody needs a sharecropper's tools
Fmaj7
or a dust filled well
D#m
Take you one last look around
Bmaj7
shed you one last tear
D#m
For the broken plow, the broken dreams
Bmaj7 D#m
And the life we're leaving here

Pull the lines down tight
The kids can ride on top of the load
In the cool of the night
They can crawl underneath the tarp
To stay out of the cold
Eleven hundred miles of mountain and sand
We'll cross 'em tired and torn
If this beat up truck can carry us
Far enough away from the storm

Chorus:
B F#
We're going to California
C#
There's work there for a man
B F#
Too proud to beg for charity
C# B
Too poor to make a stand
C#
Pray it's just the land we're losing
F# B
Not my life's blood that I leave
D#m
On the handles of that broken plow

That haunts me in my dreams

A man at a roadside station
Don't like dealing with my kind
He'd beat me out of my last dollar
And never look me in the eye
I heard 'em call us Okies
Hell I don't know what that means
But something tells me the promised land
Ain't as promising as it seems

Chorus

Bridge: F Am
Bmaj7 D#m
This restless road is full of strangers
Bmaj7 D#m
They ain't no stranger than I am
Bmaj7 D#m
Hardened faces damn the dust and curse the wind
D#m
That drove us from this life and home
Bmaj7 D#m
We'll never know again

Chorus

On the handles of my broken plow that haunts me in my dreams.
