[Intro]
E B7 E
[Verse 1]
E A E A E All my life I've heard about hard depression days F#7 B7 They so resemble times we're living now E A E A E And old news of yesteryear sounds like yesterday B7 E And hunger lines always look the same somehow
[Chorus]
E A E Are we living now or is it nineteen-twenty nine B7 E A dollar bill ain't worth one thin dime E A E And tricks are sometimes played upon the mind E B7 E Are we living now or nineteen-twenty nine
[Verse 2]
E A E A E Old songs tell about the way it was back then F#7 B7 I think I've sung 'em all from time to time E A E A E It looks like we are headed for the same old fall again B7 E But a hard depression blues would sure do fine
[Chorus]
E A E Are we living now or is it nineteen-twenty nine B7 E A dollar bill ain't worth one thin dime E A E Tricks are sometimes played upon the mind E B7 E Is it really now or nineteen-twenty nine

[Verse 3]
E A E A E The devil's changed the candy flavor some F#7 B7 Somehow we've gone to drugs instead of wine E A E A E But old Skid Row is still alive with the demon rum B7 E Is it the eighties now or 1929?
[Chorus]
E A E Are we living now or is it nineteen-twenty nine B7 E A dollar bill ain't worth one thin dime E A E And tricks are sometimes played upon the mind E B7 E Is it really now or nineteen-twenty nine
