Bon Jovi - Dry Countryadd

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


(Guitar Solo)

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


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