Bible Belt Dry the River
(verse 1)
Lo an[D]d behold your mother [G]is drinking again.
This [D]might be the coldest winter s[G]ince records began.
You w[D]ere a lone moon steady with wintry c[G]old,
Leadi[D]ng the children softly across the fo[G]ld.
(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)
B[Em]ut you swear blind, there is no weight in the wat[D]er pail.
Y[Em]ou say, "My love, you take the cards that you're [D]dealt."
C[Em]ause there's no guiding light arching a line to B[D]ethlehem.
I[Em]f it's dark outside you light the fire your[D]self.
(chorus)
D[Em]arlin' when the ice caps melt,
When the devil's in the bi[G]ble belt,
Don't cower in your b[D]ed.
I'll be on the 5[Em]-4-5,
You can meet me at the rai[G]lway line,
Don't look so sc[D]ared.
C[Bm]ause we've been through worse than this before we could t[D]alk.
T[Em]he trick of it is, don't be afraid any[D]more.
Oh the t[Em]rick of it is, don't be afraid an[D]ymore.
