[Verse]
E C#m
I was born during the hard
E C#m
Depression day, oh Lord
E C#m
In July down in South Georgia
E C#m
Where the sun was hot as a blaze
E C#m
My folk was sharecroppers
E C#m
At the end of the year
E C#m
We had nothing, we had nothing
E C#m
We had nothing but grasshoppers
[Chorus]
B A
Looking back over my life
E C#m
Oh Lord, I'm so depressed
E C#m
Help me somebody, I need some rest
E C#m
Oh Lord, I'm so depressed
[Verse]
E C#m
But I hitchhiked to New York City
E C#m
Chicago, Cleveland, and Detroit
E C#m
Singing Looooord I'm strong
E C#m
Everywhere I went alone
E C#m
But everything I do is wrong
[Chorus]
B A
Looking back over my life
E C#m
Oh Lord, I'm so depressed
E C#m
Help me right now, I need some rest
E C#m
Oh Lord, I'm so depressed
[Verse]
E C#m
I need somebody, to call my own
E C#m
Not just a roof, over my head
E C#m
But a place, that I call home
E C#m
Kiss me baby, squeeze me tight
E C#m
Squeeze me sugar, squeeze me all night
[Chorus]
B A
Looking back over my life
E C#m
Oh Lord, I'm so depressed
E C#m
Help me somebody, I'm so depressed
E C#m
Oh Lord, I need some rest
E C#m
Oh Lord, I'm so depressed
