In God’s Country

Artist – U2

D Am
Yeah
D Am
Desert sky
D Am
Dream beneath a desert sky
D Am
The rivers run but soon run dry
D Am
We need new dreams tonight

D Am
Desert rose
D Am
Dreamed I saw a desert rose
D Am
Dress torn in ribbons and in bows
D Am
Like a siren she calls to me

Em              G
Sleep comes like a drug
Em G Em D
In God’s Country

Em          G
Sad eyes, crooked crosses
Em G Em D
In God’s Country

D Am
Set me alight
We’ll punch a hole right through the night
Everyday the dreamers die
See what’s on the other side

D Am
She is liberty
And she comes to rescue me
Hope, faith, her vanity
The greatest gift is gold

Em G
Sleep comes like a drug
Em G Em D
In God’s Country

Em G
Sad eyes, crooked crosses
Em G Em D
In God’s Country

D Am
Naked flame
She stands with a naked flame
I stand with the sons of Cain
Burned by the fire of love
Burned by the fire of love
