        Fm  D#   Cm  A#m/Db

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

G#   
Dry county
        D#
They're swimming in the sand

to wash the sins from off our hands in
G#
Dry county
    D#
The promise has run dry
Db
Where nobody cries
Db                               G#
And no one's getting out of here alive

Men spend thier whole lives waiting
        Cm           Db
Praying for some big reward

It seems sometimes

The payoff leaves you feeling

Like a dirty whore
   Fm             D#
If I could choose the way I'll die
        Cm            Db
Make it by the gun or knife

'Cause the other way there's too much pain

Night after night after night
