Owen Temple - Dry Creek Chords

Dry Creek 

Capo on 2nd fret


D                      G    
Just a little way down Mount Bonnel Road
A                               D
There’s a little place where the beer is cold
D            G
Dry Creek café and dock
A                     D 
No place better come five o’clock

Just off the lake a two story bar
You know you’re there when you see the cars
Lined up and parked along
Jukebox playing a Guy Clark song
  A                        
I wanna go down to Dry Creek
Em
Down among the live oak trees
      A 
No playin’ cards or leavin’ bottles around
        G                              A      D
You can sit on the dock and watch the sun go down

There’s a weathered deck right upstairs
A few odd tables and rusty chairs
Spring days when the hills are green
Feel the Texas sun warm on your skin
Ain’t it good to be back again
People’s voices with the swaying trees
Honeysuckles on a gentle breeze

Sara owns the place and she lives in a shack
A green trailer parked out back
High dollar condos are closin’ in
And she ain’t thinking ‘bout giving in
Rumors go around with the offers they make
For the little piece of land there by the lake
She tells ‘em all to go to hell
After fifty years she ain’t gonna sell

So if you want to keep the bulldozers back
Stop and get a drink at the Dry Creek shack
Watch Lake Austin and a big blue sky
You won’t ever have to ask me why
