I’m So Depressed

[G]       [D]      [G]      [Em]

I was [G]born during the h[Em]ard depression
[G]day, oh my [Em]Lord
In J[G]uly, in South G[Em]eorgia
where the s[G]un was hot as a b[Em]laze
My f[G]olk was sharec[Em]roppers,
At the e[G]nd of the [Em]year
We had n[G]othing, we had n[Em]othing
we had n[G]othing, but grass[Em]hoppers

Look[D]ing back, over my l[C]ife
Oh L[G]ord, I'm so dep[Em]ressed
Help me some[G]body, I need some r[Em]est
Oh [G]Lord, I'm so dep[Em]ressed

Chorus Mix:
Every [G]boy needs a g[Em]irl
every [G]girl needs a [Em]boy
I'm a [C]boy so full of l[D]ove
I have [G]no one to hold my [Em]hand
Tell me [G]how long must I w[Em]ander
Tell me [G]how long must I c[Em]ry

Will there be someone, someone to wipe,
Dry the tear from my eye, come on baby, rub my head,
Rub my head while I lay down in my bed,
Kiss me, kiss me baby,
'Til I feel alright, 'til I feel alright

Oh, looking back over my life,
Oh Lord, I'm so depressed,
Help me somebody, I need some rest

[Slower, with tremolo effect rising]
Oh Lord, I'm so depressed...
