Dry County
Bon Jovi
Dm C Am Bb Dm C Am Gm/Bb (x2)
Dm C
Across the border they turn
Am Bb
Water into wine
Dm C
Some say it's the devil's blood
G Dm
They're squeezing from the vine
Dm C
Some say it's a saviour
Am Bb
In these hard and desperate times
Dm C
To see it helps me to forget
Am Dm
That we're just born... to die
Dm C Am Bb Dm C Am Gm/Bb
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 Dm
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
F
You can't help but prosper
Gm/Bb
Where the streets are paved with gold
C
They say the oil wells ran deeper 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
See there's nothing in this paydirt
Bb
The ghosts are all I know
PRE-CHORUS
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
Gm
Where nobody cries
Bb Dm
And no one's getting out of here alive
Dm C Am Bb Dm C Am Gm/Bb
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/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
PRE-CHORUS
