Version 1[Intro] Am Dm F G Am G F G [Verse 1] Am G F E Parched land no desert sand, the sun was just a dot Am G F And a little bit of water goes a long way, 'cause it's hot Am C D Dm Three good buddies were laughing and smoking in the back of a rented Ford Am G F They couldn't know they weren't going far [Solo] Am D7 x2 [Chorus] Am D C D Am Each one with the money in his pocket, could go out and buy himself a brand new car C Dm F G Am But they all held the money they had, money they hoped would take them very far [Solo] Em7 Dm7 [Verse 2] Am G F E The sky was bright, with traffic light, now and then a truck Am G F And they hadn't seen a cop around all day (what luck) Am C D Dm They brought everything they needed, the bags and scales to weigh the stuff Am G F The driver said the border's just over the bluff [Solo] Am D7 x4 [Chorus] Am D C D Am It wasn't until the car suddenly stopped, in the middle of a cold and barren plain C Dm F G Am And the other guy, turned and spilled three boys' blood, did they know a trap had been lain? [Solo] Em7 Dm7 [Verse 3] Am G F E They're OK the last days of May, but I'll be breathing dry air Am G F I'm leaving soon, the others are already there Am C D Dm You wouldn't be interested in coming along, instead of staying here? Am G F It's said the West is nice this time of year, that's what they say [Outro] Am D C D Am C D F G Am Em7 Dm7 Am
