upbeat: G

 Am              G               F              Esus4
parched land no desert sand the sun was just a dot
E      Am                         G                    F
and a little bit of water goes a long way 'cause it's hot
   Am                    C                           D
three good buddies were laughing and smoking in the back
             Dm
of a rented ford
      Am                 G             F
they couldn't know they weren't going far

Am        D7       Am7       D7

Am                 D            
each one with the money in his pocket
       C                 D                Am
could go out and buy himself a brand new car
         C             D       
but they all held the money they had
 F                      G              Am
money they hoped would take them very far

Em                 Dm

      Am                  G          F                 Esus4
the sky was bright with traffic light now and then a truck
E         Am                      G              F
and they hadn't seen a cop around all day (what luck)
       Am                     C
they brought everything they needed
               D                   Dm
the bags and scales to weigh the stuff
      Am             G                       F
the driver said the border's just over the bluff

Am         D7        Am7        D7

    Am                   D              C
it wasn't until the car suddenly stopped
                    D                Am
in the middle of a cold and barren plain
        C          D
and the other guy turned and spilled
   F                         G                   Am
three boys' blood did they know a trap had been lain?

Em                    Dm

  Am                 G         F                        Esus4
they're ok the last days of may but i'll be needing dry air
E    Am              G                    F
i'm leaving soon the others are already there
 Am                        C          D                    Dm 
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
