Bon Jovi - Dry Countryadd

Intro:  Gm  F   Dm  Eb
        Gm  F   Dm  Cm/Eb

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

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

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

        Gm
Now the oil's gone
    Gm/F
And the money's gone
    Gm/C
All the jobs are gone
            Eb         F
still we're hangin' on down in

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

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

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

    Gm
Now the oil's gone
    Gm/F
And the money's gone
    Gm/C
All the jobs are gone
         Eb       F
Still we carry on down in

A#   
Dry county
        F
They're swimming in the sand
        Eb
Praying for some holy water
   Cm                 Eb
to wash the sins from off our hands in
A#
Dry county
    F
The promise has run dry
Eb
Where nobody cries
Eb                               A#

(Guitar Solo)

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


        A#
