Owen Temple - Dry Creek guitar chord

Dry Creek

by Owen Temple

Album: General Store

Capo on 2nd fret

D G

Just a little way down Mount Bonnel Road

A D

There’s a little place where the beer is cold

D G

Dry Creek café and dock

A D

No place better come five o’clock

Just off the lake a two story bar

You know you’re there when you see the cars

Lined up and parked along

Jukebox playing a Guy Clark song

A

I wanna go down to Dry Creek

Em

Down among the live oak trees

A

No playin’ cards or leavin’ bottles around

G A D

You can sit on the dock and watch the sun go down

There’s a weathered deck right upstairs

A few odd tables and rusty chairs

Spring days when the hills are green

Feel the Texas sun warm on your skin

Ain’t it good to be back again

People’s voices with the swaying trees

Honeysuckles on a gentle breeze

Sara owns the place and she lives in a shack

A green trailer parked out back

High dollar condos are closin’ in

And she ain’t thinking ‘bout giving in

Rumors go around with the offers they make

For the little piece of land there by the lake

She tells ‘em all to go to hell

After fifty years she ain’t gonna sell

So if you want to keep the bulldozers back

Stop and get a drink at the Dry Creek shack

Watch Lake Austin and a big blue sky

You won’t ever have to ask me why
