Bon Jovi - Dry Countryadd

Intro:  Am  G   Em  F
        Am  G   Em  Dm/F

Am         G
Across the border they turn
Em         D
Water into wine
Am                G
Some say it's the devil's blood
        D                  Am
They're squeezing from the vine
Am              G
Some say it's a saviour
         Em                 F
In these hard and desperate times
    Am             G
For me it helps me to forget
     D                     Am  G  Em  F 
That we're just born... to die

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

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

        Am
Now the oil's gone
    Am/G
And the money's gone
    Am/D
All the jobs are gone
            F         G
still we're hangin' on down in

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

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

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

    Am
Now the oil's gone
    Am/G
And the money's gone
    Am/D
All the jobs are gone
         F       G
Still we carry on down in

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


(Guitar Solo)

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


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