Em Am Em Am 

[Verse]
Em                 Am             
My, my, I know the well is dry
Em             Am 
Sing me a song one more time
    Em                     Am 
The wind is raging and the birds won't fly
Em                 Am 
Nothing to eat and nowhere to hide

[Interlude]
Em Am Em Am

[Verse]
Em                Am 
Momma is gonna be alright
Em                     Am 
Tell me the story just one more time
          Em                     Am 
Where the grass is green and the water runs wild
         Em                  Am 
Where forever is forever and no-one has to die

[Chorus]
          Em                   Am 
Cause you can't drink the dirt even if you wanna
    Em                 Am 
you can't eat the dirt even if you wanna
    Em                     Am 
you can't breathe the dirt even if you wanna
           C                      D
But you'll be in the dirt, you'll be the dirt

[Verse]
Em                Am
Momma, I know I'm ready now
    Em                        Am
I'm not afraid, and you don't need to cry
     Em                       Am
Just close my eyes and wake up into a new life
Em             Am
Momma, there's no need to cry

[Chorus]
          Em                   Am 
Cause you can't drink the dirt even if you wanna
    Em                 Am 
You can't eat the dirt even if you wanna
    Em                     Am 
You can't breathe the dirt even if you wanna
           C                      D
But you'll be in the dirt, you'll be the dirt
