Bon Jovi - Dry Countryadd

Intro:  F#m  E   C#m  D
        F#m  E   C#m  Bm/D

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


(Guitar Solo)

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


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