upbeat: G
Am G F Esus4
parched land no desert sand the sun was just a dot
E Am G F
and a little bit of water goes a long way 'cause it's hot
Am C D
three good buddies were laughing and smoking in the back
Dm
of a rented ford
Am G F
they couldn't know they weren't going far
Am D7 Am7 D7
Am D
each one with the money in his pocket
C D Am
could go out and buy himself a brand new car
C D
but they all held the money they had
F G Am
money they hoped would take them very far
Em Dm
Am G F Esus4
the sky was bright with traffic light now and then a truck
E Am G F
and they hadn't seen a cop around all day (what luck)
Am C
they brought everything they needed
D Dm
the bags and scales to weigh the stuff
Am G F
the driver said the border's just over the bluff
Am D7 Am7 D7
Am D C
it wasn't until the car suddenly stopped
D Am
in the middle of a cold and barren plain
C D
and the other guy turned and spilled
F G Am
three boys' blood did they know a trap had been lain?
Em Dm
Am G F Esus4
they're ok the last days of may but i'll be needing dry air
E Am G F
i'm leaving soon the others are already there
Am C D Dm
wouldn't be interested in coming along instead of staying here?
Am G F
it's said the west is nice this time of year
that's what they say

This musical interpretation has been removed due to a legal threat from Moses & Singer LLP,
representing the National Music Publishers' Association (NMPA) and
The Music Publisher's Association of the United States (MPA).
Unfortunately, these threats are fueled by greed and being masked by a "copyright infringement." They claim tab sites are
"hurting the songwriters," but it's a known fact that the publishing companies garner most of the
revenue. Instead, they would prefer you to purchase the
official BLUE OYSTER CULT tablature
which is an option we've always given our users. And due to the highly error-prone nature of tabs on the internet, many choose to go this route.
These companies also do not realize that tablature sites help to promote their artists.
For more information on this onslaught, you can read the
NY Times Article.
We hope one of the larger tablature sites will have the money to fight this. Until then, we urge you all to keep tabbing songs and sharing them in any way you can.
