[Verse] 0:22
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
 
[Chorus] 0:53
Em           G      D    Em        G    D
Sleep comes like a drug... In God's Country
Em       G           D    Em        G    D
Sad eyes crooked crosses... In God's Country

[Interlude] 1:08
D*       Am*
Yeah aah aah
D*       Am*
Yeah aah aah

[Verse] 1:15
        D     Am
Set me alight
                         D                 Am
We'll punch a hole right through the night
             D           Am
Everyday the dreamers die
                  D          Am
See what's on the other side
       D        Am
She is Liberty
                 D         Am
And she comes to rescue me
                 D        Am
Hope, faith, her vanity
                 D       Am
The greatest gift is gold

[Chorus] 1:46
C            G      D    Em        G    D
Sleep comes like a drug... In God's Country
C        G           D    Em        G    D
Sad eyes crooked crosses... In God's Country

[Verse] 2:24
D           Am
Naked flame
                  D           Am
She stands with a naked flame
                 D            Am
I stand with the sons of Cain
               D           Am
Burned by the fire of love
               D           Am
Burned by the fire of love
D*
Ooh aah ooh ooh ooh aah aah
D*
Ooh aah ooh ooh ooh aah aah
