Dry Town

G
Well the road was hot and flat as a 
ruler
     C
Good hundred miles between me and 
Missoula
     D
That vinyl top wasn't gettin' no 
cooler
     G
So I stopped at a quickie sack
G
Well, I figured I'd need about a 
sixth of Miller
    C
And one of those things so I 
wouldn't spill her
  D
I asked the girl if the beer was in 
the back

She said

D
It's a dry town
                            G
No beer no liquor for miles around
                        C
I'd give a nickel for a sip or two
G
To wash me down
D              G
Outta this dry town

Continues after the ad
G
So I turn right around, no 
hesitation
  C
Cursed the laws ruinin' the nation
D
Waved goodbye to the boy at the 
station
        G
But she wouldn't go into gear

G
He said it sounds like your 
transmission
     C
You need to Bob, but he's gone 
fishin'
   D
His day off, he gets a long way from
 here

Cause

D
It's a dry town
                            G
No beer no liquor for miles around
                        C
I'd give a nickel for a sip or two
G
To wash me down
D              G
Outta this dry town

Well back home friends you can get a
 dose of
Something strong from your local 
grocer
So I walked down till I got a little
 closer
To a place called Happy Johns

He said "I keep something here for 
colds and fevers
Down underneath's where I usually 
leave her
But just last night I felt a cold a 
comin' on"

D
It's a dry town
                            G
No beer no liquor for miles around
                        C
I'd give a nickel for a sip or two
G
To wash me down
D              G
