upbeat: G

parched land no desert sand the sun was just a dot

and a little bit of water goes a long way 'cause it's hot

three good buddies were laughing and smoking in the back

of a rented ford

they couldn't know they weren't going far

 

each one with the money in his pocket

could go out and buy himself a brand new car

but they all held the money they had

money they hoped would take them very far

 

the sky was bright with traffic light now and then a truck

and they hadn't seen a cop around all day (what luck)

they brought everything they needed

the bags and scales to weigh the stuff

the driver said the border's just over the bluff

 

it wasn't until the car suddenly stopped

in the middle of a cold and barren plain

and the other guy turned and spilled

three boys' blood did they know a trap had been lain?

 

they're ok the last days of may but i'll be needing dry air

i'm leaving soon the others are already there

wouldn't be interested in coming along instead of staying here?

it's said the west is nice this time of year

that's what they say

additions (especially the different rhythm fills and chord

modulations) or whatever please add it to my tab or send it to me.
