Dm
[Verse 1]
DmThe cane grew high
GOn the banks of the Brazos
C DmI did hard time under the sun
DmMany came to die
GOn the banks of the Brazos
C Dm
Of so many I’m Am one
[Verse 2]
DmThe lashes fell
GOn the banks of the Brazos
C DmThe smell of blood and earth, and steel
DmWe called it hell
GOn the banks of the Brazos
C DmTreated worse than slaves in sun-burned fields
[Chorus]
F Am CDeaf ears and blind eyes
GBones rumble right where you stand
Bb FHistory buried in the haze and sand
C Dm Cast your eye to the ground
F GSee the blood that spilled
DmOn the banks of the Brazos
DmThe banks of the Brazos
[Verse 3]
DmToo hot for tears
GOn the banks of the Brazos
C DmDead men lining every row
DmCries no one hears
GOn the banks of the Brazos
C DmAnd Black Betty tearing at your soul
[Chorus]
F Am CDeaf ears and blind eyes
GBones rumble right where you stand
Bb FHistory buried in the haze and sand
C Dm Put your eye to the ground
F GGear the echo’s on
DmOn the banks of the Brazos
DmBanks of the Brazos

DmLasted 10 days
GOn the banks of the Brazos

DmThey found our bones
DmOn the banks of the Brazos

DmNow Houston sprawls
DmTo the banks of the Brazos
G C Dm Her past buried deep in Texas clay
