Verse 1:
Dm C Am Bb
Across the border they turn water into wine
Dm C G Dm
Some say it's the devil's blood, they're squeezing from the vine
Dm C Am Bb
Some say it's a saviour in these hard and desperate times
Dm C G Dm C Am Bb
For me it helps me to forget,that we're just born... to die
Verse 2:
Dm C Am Bb
I came here like so many did,to find the better life
Dm C G Dm
To find my piece of easy street,To finally be alive
Dm C Am Bb
I knew nothing good comes easy, all good things take some time
Dm C G
I made my bed I'll lie in it,to die in it's the crime

they say the oil wells ran deeper here than anybody's known

In the blessed name of Jesus, I heard a preacher say
Dm C G Dm
That we are all God's children, and that he'd be back, back someday

And I hoped that he knew something,as he drank his cup of wine
Dm C G Dm
Didn't have too good a feeling, as I head out to the night
Bridge 2:
F Gm/Bb
I cursed the sky to open,I begged the clouds for rain
C Bb/D
I prayed to god for water,for this burning in my viens
F Gm/Bb
It was like my soul's on fire,and I had to watch the flames

All the jobs are gone,still we carry on down in
