[D] [D] [D] [A]

A [D]canvas covered [D7]cabin in a [G]crowded labour [D]camp
Stand [D]out in this memory I rev[A7]ived  [A]
Cause my [D]daddy raised a [D7]family there
With [G]two hard working [D]hands
And tried to feed my [A7]mama's hungry [D]eyes.       

He [D]dreamed of something [D7]better, and my [G]mama's faith was [D]strong
[D]And us kids were just to young to realize[A]
That [D]another class of peo[D7]ple put us [G]somewhere just [D]below;
One more reason for my [A7]mama's hungry [D]eyes.

{soc}
[A7]Mama [D]never had the [G]luxuries she [D]wanted
[D]But it wasn't cause my [G]daddy didn't [D]try
[D]She only wanted [G]things she really [D]needed
[D]One more reason for my [A]mamas hungry [D]eyes [C] [B] [A] [D]
{eoc}

[D]I remember daddy praying for a [G]better way of [D]life
But I don't recall a change of any [A]size;
[D]Just a little loss of [G]courage, as their age began to [D]show
And more sadness in my [A]mama's hungry [D]eyes.
