xOne Blue Sky
Sugarland
C G
Little Annie Vickers is boarding up windows
F G
And a rows all get stranded on a silos
C G
Hey, there Annie, don't even think it
F G
So much water and you can't even drink it
Am G F
Well, maybe by Christmas they'll dig up the rows
Am G F G
Take whatever you can, girl, and leave the rest for the crows
C G-F-G
Leave the rest for the crows
C G
Living in Crawford for fifteen years
F G
Nothing much ever happens round here
C G
And, no one believed the water would come
F G
Til the sky grew dark and it swallowed the sun
Am G F
And it rained for forty-two nights and forty-two days
Am G F G
And everything that we love is floating away
(Chorus)
C G
How long til our dreams run dry
F Am G
Don't know but we're staying
C G
On our knees we raise our eyes
F Am G F G C
Holding on and praying to find one blue sky
C G
Mrs. Wilson sits with an insurance adjuster
F G
Big city boy, she never did trust him
C G
Have you been getting the letters I'm sending
F G
Cause the preacher swears that the world is ending
Am G F
Well, if there's a way out, wish someone would show us
Am G F G
We keep looking around here for some modern day Moses
(Repeat Chorus)
C G
How long til our dreams run dry
F Am G
Don't know but we're staying
C G
On our knees we raise our eyes
F Am G F G C
Holding on and praying to find one blue sky
Am G
We will dig in our heels hard as we can
F G
But the backyard looks like the Rio Grande
Am C G
And I wonder will it wash us clean or wash us away
(Repeat Chorus)
C G
How long til our dreams run dry
F Am G
Don't know but we're staying
C G
On our knees we raise our eyes
F Am G F G C
Holding on and praying to find one blue sky
(Repeat Chorus)
C G
(How long til our dreams run dry)
F Am G
(Don't know but we're staying)
C G
On our knees we raise our eyes
F Am G F G C
Holding on and praying to find one blue sky
G C
One blue sky
