Dry The River – Bible Belt chords

[verse 1]

     D                    GLo and behold your mother is drinking again.
     D                            GThis might be the coldest winter since records began.
     D                                   GYou were a lone moon steady with wintry cold,
     D                                   GLeading the children softly across the fold.

[verse 2 - same]
Each morning you'd march your sisters like soldiers to school,
Cause lo and behold your father had drunk all the fuel.
You are a lone moon steady with wintry cold,
Somewhere inside the fire of your youth went dark.

[bridge]

 Em                                               DBut you swear blind, there is no weight in the water pail.
 Em                                               DYou say, "My love, you take the cards that you're dealt."
 Em                                               DCause there's no guiding light arching a line to Bethlehem.
 Em                                         DIf it's dark outside you light the fire yourself.

[chorus]

 EmDarlin' when the ice caps melt,
                          GWhen the devil's in the bible belt,
                     DDon't cower in your bed.
                EmI'll be on the 5-4-5,
                          GYou can meet me at the railway line,
                DDon't look so scared.

 Bm                                                       DCause we've been through worse than this before we could talk.
 Em                                    DThe trick of it is, don't be afraid anymore.
        Em                               DOh the trick of it is, don't be afraid anymore.
