Bon Jovi - Dry Countryadd

Intro:  D#m  C#   A#m  B
        D#m  C#   A#m  G#m/B

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


(Guitar Solo)

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


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