Intro: Dm C Am Bb
Dm C Am Gm/Bb
Dm C
Across the border they turn
Am G
Water into wine
Dm C
Some say it’s the devil’s blood
G Dm
They’re squeezing from the vine
Dm C
Some say it’s a saviour
Am Bb
In these hard and desperate times
Dm C
For me it helps me to forget
G Dm C Am Bb
That we’re just born… to die
Dm C
I came here like so many did
Am Bb
To find the better life
Dm C
To find my piece of easy street
G Dm
To finally be alive
Dm C
I knew nothing good comes easy
Am G
All good things take some time
Dm C
I made my bed I’ll lie in it
G Dm
To die in it’s the crime
F
You can’t help but prosper
Gm/Bb
Where the streets are paved with gold
C
They say the oil wells ran depper here
Bb/D
Than anybody’s known
F
Now I packed up on my wife and kid
Gm/Bb
And left them back at home
C
Now there’s nothing in this paydirt
Bb
The ghosts are all I know
Dm
Now the oil’s gone
Dm/C
And the money’s gone
Dm/G
All the jobs are gone
Bb C
Still we’re hangin’ on down in
F
Dry county
C
They’re swimming in the sand
Bb
Praying for some holy water
Gm Bb
To wash the sins from off our hands in
F
