Bon Jovi - Dry Countryadd

Intro:  Bm  A   F#m  G
        Bm  A   F#m  Em/G

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

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

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

        Bm
Now the oil's gone
    Bm/A
And the money's gone
    Bm/E
All the jobs are gone
            G         A
still we're hangin' on down in

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

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

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

    Bm
Now the oil's gone
    Bm/A
And the money's gone
    Bm/E
All the jobs are gone
         G       A
Still we carry on down in

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


(Guitar Solo)

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


        D   
Down in Dry county
        A
They're swimming in the sand
        G
Praying for some holy water
   Em                 G
to wash the sins from off our hands in
D
Dry county
    A

And no one's getting out of here alive
