Dm C Some say it's the devil's blood G They're squeezing from the vine Dm C Some say it's a saviour Am Bb In these hard and desperate times Dm C For me it helps me to forget G Dm C Am Bb That we're just born... to die Dm C I came here like so many did Am Bb To find the better life Dm C To find my piece of easy street G To finally be alive Dm C I knew nothing good comes easy Am G All good things take some time Dm C I made my bed I'll lie in it G Dm To die in it's the crime Bridge: F You can't help but prosper Gm Where the streets are paved with gold C they say the oil wells ran depper here Bb Than anybody's known F Now I packed up on my wife and kid Gm 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 Bb C still we're hangin' on down in Chorus: F Dry county C They're swimming in the sand Bb Praying for some holy water Gm Bb to wash the sins from off our hands in F Dry county C The promise has run dry Bb Where nobody cries Bb Dm C Am Bb And no one's getting out of here alive Dm C In the blessed name of Jesus Am Bb I heard a preacher say Dm C That we are all God's children G Dm And that he'd be back, back someday Dm C And I hoped that he knew something Am Bb As he drank his cup of wine Dm C Didn't have too good a feeling G Dm As I head out to the night F I cursed the sky to open Gm I begged the clouds for rain C I prayed to God for water Bb For this burning in my viens F It was like my soul's on fire Gm 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 And the money's gone Dm All the jobs are gone Bb C Still we carry on down in F Dry county C They're swimming in the sand Bb Praying for some holy water Gm Bb to wash the sins from off our hands in F Dry county C The promise has run dry Bb Where nobody cries Bb F And no one's getting out of here alive Guitar Solo Dm C Men spend their whole lives waiting Am Bb Praying for their big reward Dm but It seems sometimes C G The payoff leaves you feeling Dm Like a dirty whore Dm C If I could choose the way I'll die Am Bb Make it by the gun or knife Dm C '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 Gm Bb to wash the sins from off our hands in F Dry county C The promise has run dry Bb Where nobody cries Bb Dm C Am Bb And no one's getting out of here alive 1st Solo: -
