Dm C Am Gm/Bb

Verse:

Dm C

Across the border they turn

Am Bb

Water into wine

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
