[Intro]
Dm Dm C C Am Am Bb Bb
Dm Dm C C Am Am Gm/Bb Gm/Bb


Dm Dm C C
Across the border they turn
Am Am G G
Water into wine
Dm Dm C C
Some say it's the devil's blood
G G Dm Dm
They're squeezing from the vine



Dm Dm C C
Some say it's a saviour
Am Am Bb Bb
In these hard and desperate times
Dm Dm C C
For me it helps me to forget
G G Dm Dm C C Am Am Bb Bb
That we're just born... to die

Dm Dm C C
I came here like so many did
Am Am Bb Bb
To find the better life
Dm Dm C C
To find my piece of easy street
G G Dm Dm
To finally be alive
Dm Dm C C
I knew nothing good comes easy
Am Am G G
All good things take some time
Dm Dm C C
I made my bed I'll lie in it
G G Dm Dm
To die in it's the crime

F F
You can't help but prosper
Gm Gm
Where the streets are paved with gold
C C
they say the oil wells ran depper here
Bb Bb
Than anybody's known
F F
Now I packed up on my wife and kid
Gm Gm
And left them back at home
C C
Now there's nothing in this paydirt
Bb Bb
The ghosts are all I know

Dm Dm
Now the oil's gone
C C
And the money's gone
G G
All the jobs are gone
Bb Bb C C
still we're hangin' on down in

F F
Dry county
C C
They're swimming in the sand
Bb Bb
Praying for some holy water
Gm Gm Bb Bb
to wash the sins from off our hands in
F F
Dry county
C C
The promise has run dry
Bb Bb
Where nobody cries
Bb Bb Dm Dm C C Am Am Bb Bb
And no one's getting out of here alive

Dm Dm C C
In the blessed name of Jesus
Am Am Bb Bb
I heard a preacher say
Dm Dm C C
That we are all God's children
G G Dm Dm
And that he'd be back, back someday
Dm Dm C C
And I hoped that he knew something
Am Am Bb Bb
As he drank his cup of wine
Dm Dm C C
Didn't have too good a feeling


G G Dm Dm
As I head out to the night

F F
I cursed the sky to open
Gm Gm
I begged the clouds for rain
C C
I prayed to God for water
Bb Bb
For this burning in my viens
F F
It was like my soul's on fire
Gm Gm
And I had to watch the flames
C C
All my dreams went up in ashes
Bb Bb
And my future blew away

Dm Dm
Now the oil's gone
C C
And the money's gone
G G
All the jobs are gone
Bb Bb C C
Still we carry on down in

F F
Dry county
C C
They're swimming in the sand
Bb Bb
Praying for some holy water
Gm Gm Bb Bb
to wash the sins from off our hands in
F F
Dry county
C C
The promise has run dry
Bb Bb
Where nobody cries
Bb Bb F F
And no one's getting out of here alive


(Guitar Solo)

Dm Dm C C
Men spend thier whole lives waiting
Am Am Bb Bb
Praying for some big reward
Dm Dm
It seems sometimes
C C G G
The payoff leaves you feeling
Dm Dm
Like a dirty whore
Dm Dm C C
If I could choose the way I'll die
Am Am Bb Bb
Make it by the gun or knife
Dm Dm C C
'Cause the other way there's too much pain
G G
Night after night after night


F F
Down in Dry county
C C
They're swimming in the sand
Bb Bb
Praying for some holy water
Gm Gm Bb Bb
to wash the sins from off our hands in
F F
Dry county
C C
The promise has run dry
Bb Bb
Where nobody cries
Bb Bb Dm Dm C C Am Am Bb Bb
And no one's getting out of here alive
