Pastures Of Plenty Chords & Lyrics - Eliza Gilkyson

[INTRO]
[Em] [G] [D] [Em]

[VERSE 1]
[G]It's a mighty hard row
My poor [D]hands [Em]have hoed
[G]My poor feet have traveled
A hot [D]dusty [Em]road

[VERSE 2]
[G]Out of your Dust Bowl
And westward [D]we [Em]rolled
[G]Your deserts were hot
Your moun[D]tains were [Em]cold

[VERSE 3]
[G]I worked in your orchards
Of [D]peaches and [Em]prunes
[G]Slept on the ground
By the light [D]of your [Em]moon

[VERSE 4]
[G]On the edge of your city
You'll see us [D]and [Em]then
[G]We come with the dust
We're gone [D]with the [Em]wind

[VERSE 5]
[G]California and Arizona,
I made [D]all your [Em]crops
[G]And its north up to Oregon
To harvest [D]your [Em]hops

[VERSE 6]
[G]Dig the beets from your ground,
Pick the grapes [D]from your [Em]vine
[G]To set on your table
Your light [D]sparkling [Em]wine

[VERSE 7]
[G]It's green pastures of plenty
From dry [D]desert [Em]ground
[G]From the Grand Coulee Dam
Where the waters [D]run [Em]down

[VERSE 8]
[G]Every state in this Union
Us migrants [D]have [Em]been
[G]We'll work in this fight
And we'll fight [D]till we [Em]win

[VERSE 9]
[G]And it's always we ramble
This ri[D]ver and [Em]I
[G]All along your green valley,
I will work [D]till I [Em]die

[VERSE 10]
[G]And this land I'll defend
With my life [D]if need [Em]be
[G]'Cause my pastures of plenty
Must alw[D]ays be [Em]free
