Vox on the 3 of the minor key on “cross”

AmAcross the Gborder they turn

EmWater into Fwine

AmSome say it’s the Gdevil’s blood

They’re Dsqueezing from the viAmne

AmSome say it’s a Gsavior

In these Emhard and desperate Ftimes

You Amsee it helps meGto forget

That Dwe’re just born, to Amdie

I Amcame here like Gso many did

To Emfind the better Flife

To Amfind my piece of Geasy street

And Dfinally be alAmive

I knew Amnothing good comes Geasy

All Emgood things take some Ftime

I Ammade my bed I’ll Glie in it

To Ddie in it’s the crime

Vox up to the high 3 of the chord

CYou can’t help but prosper

Where the Fstreets are paved with gold

They say the Goil wells ran deeper here

Than Amanybody’s known

Now I Cpacked up on my wife and kid

And leFft them back at home

See there’s Gnothing in this paydirt

The Fghosts are all I know

Now the Amoil’s gone

And Am/Gthe money’s gone

All F#m7b5the jobs are gone

Still we’re Am/Ghangin’ on down in

AmGEmFNot this time

AmGEmF6

In the Amblessed name of GJesus

I Emheard a preacher Fsay

That Amwe were all god’s Gchildren

And tDhat he’d be back, Amback someday

And I Amhoped that he knew Gsomething

As he Emdrank his cup of Fwine

I didn’t Amhave too good a Gfeeling

As I Dhead out to the Amnight

I Ccursed the sky to open

I Fbegged the clouds for rain

I Gpray all night for water

For this Dmburning in my viens

It was Clike my soul’s on fire

And I Fhad to watch the flames

All my Gdreams went up in ashes

And my Ffuture blew away

Now the Amoil’s gone

And the Am/Gmoney’s gone

All the F#m7b5jobs are gone

Still they’re Ghangin’ on Gdown in

AmGEmF6

A man Amspends his whole life Gwaiting

Praying Emfor some big rewFard

It sAmeems sometimes that Gpayoff leaves you

DFeeling like a Amdirty whore

AmIf I could choose the wGay I die

Make it Emby the gun or Fknife

‘Cause the Amother way there’s Gtoo much pain

DNight after night after night
