Bon Jovi - Dry Countryadd

Intro:  Cm  A#   Gm  Ab
        Cm  A#   Gm  Fm/Ab

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

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

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

        Cm
Now the oil's gone
    Cm/A#
And the money's gone
    Cm/F
All the jobs are gone
            Ab         A#
still we're hangin' on down in

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

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

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

    Cm
Now the oil's gone
    Cm/A#
And the money's gone
    Cm/F
All the jobs are gone
         Ab       A#
Still we carry on down in

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


(Guitar Solo)

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


        D#   
Down in Dry county
