DmC Across the border they turn AmG Water into wine DmC Some say it's the devil's blood GDm They're squeezing from the vine DmC Some say it's a saviour AmBb In these hard and desperate times DmC For me it helps me to forget GDmCAmBb That we're just born... to die
DmC I came here like so many did AmBb To find the better life DmC To find my piece of easy street GDm To finally be alive DmC I knew nothing good comes easy AmG All good things take some time DmC I made my bed I'll lie in it GDm To die in it's the crime
F You can't help but prosper Gm/Bb Where the streets are paved with gold C they say the oil wells ran depper here Bb/D Than anybody's known F Now I packed up on my wife and kid Gm/Bb And left them back at home C Now there's nothing in this paydirt Bb The ghosts are all I know
Dm Now the oil's gone Dm/C And the money's gone Dm/G All the jobs are gone BbC still we're hangin' on down in
F Dry county C They're swimming in the sand Bb Praying for some holy water GmBb to wash the sins from off our hands in F Dry county C The promise has run dry Bb Where nobody cries BbDmCAmBb And no one's getting out of here alive
DmC In the blessed name of Jesus AmBb I heard a preacher say DmC That we are all God's children GDm And that he'd be back, back someday DmC And I hoped that he knew something AmBb As he drank his cup of wine DmC Didn't have too good a feeling GDm As I head out to the night
F I cursed the sky to open Gm/Bb I begged the clouds for rain C I prayed to God for water Bb/D For this burning in my viens F It was like my soul's on fire Gm/Bb And I had to watch the flames C All my dreams went up in ashes Bb And my future blew away
Dm Now the oil's gone Dm/C And the money's gone Dm/G All the jobs are gone BbC Still we carry on down in
F Dry county C They're swimming in the sand Bb Praying for some holy water GmBb to wash the sins from off our hands in F Dry county C The promise has run dry Bb Where nobody cries BbF And no one's getting out of here alive
(Guitar Solo)
DmC Men spend thier whole lives waiting AmBb Praying for some big reward Dm It seems sometimes CG The payoff leaves you feeling Dm Like a dirty whore DmC If I could choose the way I'll die AmBb Make it by the gun or knife DmC 'Cause the other way there's too much pain G Night after night after night
F Down in Dry county C They're swimming in the sand Bb Praying for some holy water GmBb to wash the sins from off our hands in F Dry county C The promise has run dry Bb Where nobody cries BbDmCAmBb And no one's getting out of here alive
