^BmThere is whiskey in the ^Dwater. ^AAnd there is death upon the ^Emvine. ^BmThere is fear in the eyes of your ^Dfather. ^AAnd there is "Yours" and there is ^Em"Mine". ^BmThere is a desert veiled in ^Dpavement. A^And there's a city of seven h^Emills. ^BmAnd all our debris flows to the ^Docean. ^ATo meet again, I hope it ^Emwill.

Chorus:

How c^Gould some^Bmthing so f^Aair be so c^Bmruel. When ^Gthis black ^Bmsun re^Avolved around ^Bmyou.
