Hungry Eyes Chords by Merle Haggard & The Strangers

[D] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C#] _ [D]
A canvas _ -covered cabin in [G] a crowded _ [D] labor camp _ _
Stand out in this memory I [A] revive
_ Cause _ _ _
[D] my daddy raised a family there
[G] With two hard-working [D] hands
And tried to feed [A] my mama's _ [D] hungry eyes
He _ _ _ dreamed of something better
[G]
[F#] And [G] my mama's faith [D] was strong
And us kids were just too young to [A] realize
_ That _ _
_ [D] another _ class of people
But [G] us somewhere _ [D] just below _
Want more reason for [A] my mama's [D] hungry _ eyes _ _
Mama never _ [G] had the luxury [D] she _ wanted
_ But it wasn't cause [G] my daddy [D] didn't try
_ _ She _ _ _ only [G] wanted things she really _ [D] needed
_ One _ more reason _ [A] for my mama's [D] hungry _ eyes
I _ _ remember _ daddy praying for [Gm] a better _ [D] way of life _
But I don't recall a change [A] of any size
_ _ _ [D] _
[Am] [D] Just a little loss of courage _ [G] as their age began [D] to show
And more sadness _ [A] in my mama's _ [D] hungry _ eyes _ _
Mama never _ [G] had the luxury [D] she wanted
_ _ But it wasn't cause [G] my daddy didn't [D] try
_ _ _ She _ only wanted [G] things she really [D] _ needed
_ _ One more reason _ for [A] my mama's [D] hungry _ eyes _ _ _
Oh, I still recall [A] my _ mama's [D] hungry eyes _ _ _ _ _
