While strumming, Bob hammers on and off his ring finger, you have to listen for when he does it. Capo 2 [Verse 1]
C                                              Am
It's a mighty hard row that my poor hands have hoed

C                                      Am
My poor feet have traveled a hot dusty road

C                                     Am
Out of your Dust Bowl and Westward we rolled

C                                                 Am
And your deserts were hot and your mountains were cold
[Verse 2]
C                                   Am
California, Arizona, I harvest your crops

C                                          Am
Well its North up to Oregon to gather your hops

C                                                        Am
Dig the beets from your ground, cut the grapes from your vine

C                                         Am
To set on your table your light sparkling wine
[Verse 3a] - On Minnesota Tapes
C                                        Am
I worked in your orchards of peaches and prunes

C                                         Am
I slept on the ground in the light of the moon

C                                         Am
Every state in the Union us migrants have been

                   C                             Am
We'll work in this fight and we'll fight till we win
[Verse 3b] - On Gaslight Recording
C                                         Am
I slept on the ground in the light of the moon

C                                        Am
I worked in your orchards of peaches and prunes

C                                         Am
Wherever your crops are, I'll lend you my hand

C                                       Am
I'll ramble all over your green growing land
[Verse 4]
C                                        Am
Green pastures of plenty from dry desert ground

C                                              Am
From the Grand Coulee Dam where the waters run down

C                                         Am
Every state in the Union us migrants have been

C                                        Am
We come with the dust and we go with the wind
[Verse 5]
C                                      Am
It's always we rambled, that river and I

C                                               Am
All along your green valley, I will work till I die

C                                        Am
This land I'll defend with my life if need be

         C                                 Am
Cause my pastures of plenty must always be free
