For the verses he seems to only use the C and G chords with his usual alternating bass
and some hammer ons.

Verse 1
C C
I'm a dust bowl refugee,
C G
Just a dust bowl refugee,
C C
From that dust bowl to the peach bowl,
C G C
Now that peach fuzz is a-killin' me.

Verse 2
C C
'Cross the mountains to the sea,
C G
Come the wife and kids and me.
C C
It's a hot old dusty highway
C G C
For a dust bowl refugee.

Verse 3
C C
Hard, it's always been that way,
C G
Here today and on our way
C C
Down that mountain, 'cross the desert,
C G C
Just a dust bowl refugee.

Verse 4
C C
We are ramblers, so they say,
C G
We are only here today,
C C
Then we travel with the seasons,
C G C
We're the dust bowl refugees.

Verse 5
C C
From the south land and the drought land,
C G
Come the wife and kids and me,
C C
And this old world is a hard world
C G C
For a dust bowl refugee.

Verse 6
C C
Yes, we ramble and we roam
C G
And the highway that's our home,
C C
It's a never-ending highway
C G C
For a dust bowl refugee.

Verse 7
C C
Yes, we wander and we work
C G
In your crops and in your fruit,
C C
Like the whirlwinds on the desert
C G C
That's the dust bowl refugees.

Verse 8
C C
I'm a dust bowl refugee,
C G
I'm a dust bowl refugee,
C C
And I wonder will I always
C G C
Be a dust bowl refugee?
