More chords by Tom Paxton

Dm
She was born dirt poor grew up gangly and tall
Am
and the state gave her no real protection at all
Dm
her father get drunk and he beat her so bad
Am G
and her mother wouldn't help her man was all that she had
Am
at school her teachers just closed their eyes
G
to the bruises on her arms on her neck and her thighs
Am
she was learning that the world was bitter and cold
G
she was only a child she was already old
Am G Dm Am Dm Am
family ties under american skies.
