Bon Jovi - Dry Countryadd

Intro:  A#m  G#   Fm  Gb
        A#m  G#   Fm  D#m/Gb

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

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

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

        A#m
Now the oil's gone
    A#m/G#
And the money's gone
    A#m/D#
All the jobs are gone
            Gb         G#
still we're hangin' on down in

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

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

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

    A#m
Now the oil's gone
    A#m/G#
And the money's gone
    A#m/D#
All the jobs are gone
         Gb       G#
Still we carry on down in

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


(Guitar Solo)

    A#m                      G#
Men spend thier whole lives waiting
        Fm           Gb
Praying for some big reward
   A#m
It seems sometimes
    G#                 D#
The payoff leaves you feeling
       A#m
Like a dirty whore
   A#m             G#
If I could choose the way I'll die
        Fm            Gb
Make it by the gun or knife
           A#m                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
        Gb
Praying for some holy water
   D#m                 Gb
to wash the sins from off our hands in
C#
Dry county
    G#
The promise has run dry
Gb
Where nobody cries
Gb                               A#m   G#   Fm  Gb
And no one's getting out of here alive
