[Am][G][Em][F]

[Verse 1]
[Am]'Cross the borde[G]r they turn wate[Em]r into wine[F]
[Am]Some say it's [G]the devil's blood
They're [D]squeezin' from the [Am]vine
[Am]Some say it's a [G]savior
In these [Em]hard and despe[F]rate times
You [Am]see it helps m[G]e to forget
that [D]we're just [D]born to die

[Interlude 1]
[Am][G][Em][F]
[Am][G][Em][F]

[Verse 2]
I [Am]came here like [G]so many did
to [Em]find a better [F]life
To [Am]find my piece [G]of easy street
To [D]finally be a[Am]live
I knew [Am]nothing good [G]comes easy
All [Em]good things take [F]some time
I [Am]made my bed [G]I'll lie in it
To [D]die in it's the crime

[Pre-chorus 1]
[C]You can't help but prosper
Where the [F]streets are paved with gold
They say the [G]oil wells ran deeper here
than [Am]anybody's known
Now I [C]packed up all my wife and kid
And [F]left the folks back home
See there's [G]nothing in this pay dirt
The [F]ghosts are all I know
Now [Am]the oil's gone
And [G]the money's gone
All [F#dim]the jobs are gone
Still [G]we're hangin' on

[Chorus 1]
Down [C]in dry county
They're [G]swimming in the sand
Praying [F]for some holy water
To [Dm]wash the sins from [F]off our hands
Here [C]in dry county
The [G]promise has run dry
[F]Where nobody cries

[Interlude 2]
And no one is getting out of here alive
[Am](Not[G] thi[Em]s ti[F]me)
[Am][G][Em][F]

[Verse 3]
"In the [Am]blessed name [G]of Jesus"
I [Em]heard a [F]preacher say
That [Am]we were all G[G]od's children
That [D]He'd be [Am]back, back someday
I [Am]hoped that he [G]knew something as
he [Em]drank that cup of [F]wine
I didn't [Am]have too good a [G]feeling
as I [D]head out to the night

[Pre-chorus 2]
I [C]cursed the sky to open
I [F]begged the clouds for rain
I [G]prayed all night for water
For this [Am]burning in my veins
It was [C]like my soul's on fire
And I [F]had to watch the flames
All my [G]dreams went up in ashes
And my [F]future blew away

[Chorus 2]
Down [C]in dry county
They're [G]swimming in the sand
Praying [F]for some holy water
To [Dm]wash the sins from [F]off our hands
Here [C]in dry county
The [G]promise has run dry
[F]Where nobody cries

[Solo 1]

[Verse 4]
A man [Am]spends his whole [G]life waiting
Prayin' [Em]for some big rew[F]ard
But it [Am]seems sometimes [G]that payoff
Leaves you [D]feeling like a dirt[Am]y whore
[Am]If I could choose the [G]way I'd die
Make it [Em]by the gun or kn[F]ife
'Cause the [Am]other way [G]there's too much pain
[D]Night after night after night after night

[Chorus 3]
Oh, down [C]in dry county
Where they [G]swim out in the sand
Praying [F]for some holy water
To [Dm]wash these sins from [F]off our hands
[C]In dry county
The [G]promise has run dry
[F]Where nobody cries
And [G]no one's getting out of here

[Solo 3]
[C]Dry cou[G]nty!
[F]Oh[Dm][F]
