[C]Little Annie Vickers is b[G]oarding up windows
[F]And a rows all get str[G]anded on a silos
Hey, th[C]ere Annie, don't ev[G]en think it
[F]So much water and you can't e[G]ven drink it
[Am]Well, maybe by Chr[G]istmas they'll dig up the r[F]ows
Take whate[Am]ver you can, gi[G]rl, and leave the rest for the c[F]rows[G]
Leave the rest for the cr[C]ows[G-F-G]
L[C]iving in Crawford for f[G]ifteen years
[F]Nothing much ever hap[G]pens round here
And, n[C]o one believed the wa[G]ter would come
T[F]il the sky grew dark and it sw[G]allowed the sun
And it r[Am]ained for forty-two ni[G]ghts and forty-two d[F]ays
And ev[Am]erything that we l[G]ove is floating [F]away[G]
(Chorus)
[C]How long til our dr[G]eams run dry
Do[F]n't know but we're [Am]stayi[G]ng
[C]On our knees we r[G]aise our eyes
Ho[F]lding on and [Am]prayi[G]ng to fi[F]nd o[G]ne blue s[C]ky
M[C]rs. Wilson sits with an i[G]nsurance adjuster
B[F]ig city boy, she never d[G]id trust him
Have y[C]ou been getting the let[G]ters I'm sending
Ca[F]use the preacher swears that the wo[G]rld is ending
Well, [Am]if there's a way out, w[G]ish someone would s[F]how us
We keep lo[Am]oking around here [G] for some modern day [F]Moses[G]
(Repeat Chorus)
[C]How long til our dr[G]eams run dry
Do[F]n't know but we're [Am]stayi[G]ng
[C]On our knees we r[G]aise our eyes
Ho[F]lding on and [Am]prayi[G]ng to fi[F]nd o[G]ne blue s[C]ky
We will [Am]dig in our heels [G]hard as we can
But the b[F]ackyard looks like the Ri[G]o Grande
And I w[Am]onder will it wash us cl[C]ean or wash us a[G]way
(Repeat Chorus)
[C]How long til our dr[G]eams run dry
Do[F]n't know but we're [Am]stayi[G]ng
[C]On our knees we r[G]aise our eyes
Ho[F]lding on and [Am]prayi[G]ng to fi[F]nd o[G]ne blue s[C]ky
(Repeat Chorus)
(H[C]ow long til our dre[G]ams run dry)
(D[F]on't know but we're [Am]stayi[G]ng)
[C]On our knees we r[G]aise our eyes
Ho[F]lding on and [Am]prayi[G]ng to fi[F]nd o[G]ne blue s[C]ky
[G]One blue s[C]ky
[F]And a rows all get str[G]anded on a silos
