Chords

[Intro] F C (x4) [Chorus]
             F               C
  Take your apples from the earth

           F                    C
  And your fingerlings from the air

          F                     D7
  If you cried when you were born

G                   E7
  'Cause it ain't fair

      F                        G
  You got nothing, nothing to wear
[Verse 1]
Dm                                    C
   And there's a drink that we're all needing

G                            Dm
   A need to weep but we have tried

F                                   Am
   And though the clouds we keep on seeding

E7                           F
   Still the county remains dry

                      Am    G
   The county remains dry

F                     C     E7
   The county remains dry
[Solo] F C (x3) F D7 G E7 F G [Verse 2]
Dm                                C
   I see your coat, that it needs sewing

G                                         Dm
   And these seeds will sow the corn silk brides

F                                Am
   But in your absence nothing's growing

E7                           F
   Still the county remains dry

                      Am    G
   The county remains dry

F                     Am    G
   The county remains dry

F                     C     E7
   The county remains dry
[Bridge]
F                C
Still we keep on dreaming

        F            C
Of that fifty-year flood

   F          C
Of oceans of plasma

     F         C
And rivers of blood
[Chorus]
             F               C
  Take your apples from the earth

           F                    C
  And your fingerlings from the air

          F                     D7
  If you cried when you were born

G                   E7
  'Cause it ain't fair

      F                        G
  You got nothing, nothing to wear
[Outro] Dm C G Dm F Am E7 F Am G F (x3) C
