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

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

Bridge:
 F
 You can't help but prosper
 Gm
Where the streets are paved with gold
 C
they say the oil wells ran depper here
 Bb
Than anybody's known
 F
Now I packed up on my wife and kid
 Gm
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
 BbC
still we're hangin' on down in

Chorus:
 F
 Dry county
 C
They're swimming in the sand
 Bb
Praying for some holy water
 GmBb
to wash the sins from off our hands in
 F
 Dry county
 C
The promise has run dry
 Bb
 Where nobody cries
 BbDmCAmBb
And no one's getting out of here alive                 not this time

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

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

 Dm
Now the oil's gone
 Dm
And the money's gone
 Dm
All the jobs are gone
 BbC
Still we carry on down in

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