[Verse 1]
---------------------
Am              G            F                 E
Parched land no desert sand, sun was just a dot
      Am                         G                     F
And a little bit of water goes a long way, 'cause it's hot
Am                      C                           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

[Interlude]
---------------------
Am | D | Am | D 

[Chorus]
---------------------
Am                  D
Each one with the money in his pocket
      C                     D            Am
Could go out and buy himself a brand new car
         C            Dm
But they all held the money they had
F                          G             Asus2
Money they hoped would take them very far

[Verse 2]
---------------------
Em Dm    Am                    G         F                    E
     The sky was bright, a traffic light, now and then a truck
         Am                          G
And they hadn't seen a cop around all day
F     Am                          C
 They brought everything they needed
         D                   Dm
Bags and scales to weigh the stuff
    Am                 G                        F
The driver said the border's just over the bluff

[Solo 1]

Am | D | Am | D | Am | D 

[Bridge]
---------------------
Am D   Am                   D
    It wasn't until the car suddenly stopped
C                   D               Am
 In the middle of a cold and barren plain
        C         Dm
And the other guy turned and spilled
F                          G                    Am   Em Dm
Three boys blood, did they know a trap had been laid?

[Verse 3]
---------------------
Am                   G           F                      E
They're ok, the last days of may, I'll be breathing dry air
    Am                G
I'm leaving soon, the others are already there
F    Am                        C            D
 You wouldn't be interested in coming along, instead of staying here
Dm     Am                  G                  F
  They say the west is nice this time of year, that's what they say
