INTRO: F C (4x)
F C
Take your apples from the earth
F C
And your fingerlings from the air
D7 G. E
If you cried when you were born
F
'Cause it ain't fair
G
You got nothing, nothing to wear
Dm C
And there's a drink that we're all needing
E F
A need to weep but we have tried
Dm C
And though the clouds we keep on seeding
E F F C
Still the county remains dry, the county remains dry
F G
The county remains dry
Dm C
I see your coat, that it needs sewing
E F
And these seeds will sow the corn silk bride
Dm C
But in your absence nothing's growing
E F F C
And still the county remains dry, the county remains dry
F G
The county remains dry
F C
Well still we keep on dreaming
F C
Of that fifty-year flood
F C
Of oceans of plasma
F C
And rivers of blood
F C
Take your apples from the earth
F C
And your fingerlings from the air
D7 G. E
If you cried when you were born
F
'Cause it ain't fair
G
You got nothing, nothing to wear
OUTRO: Dm C E F C
