Welcome To The Desert

Am (alternate bass between a and e strings. pull off E note to open D string, then C note on the A (5th) string) Am G Here is where the mystics wander, Here is a land of abandoned cars Am G Here is where you will be tested, Underneath a billion stars F Am Here the purple shadows fool you, Here the heat comes with the dawn F E E7 Am Here the hermit digs for treasure, And mirages pull you on.... Am G Here are shores of ancient seas, Here the reckless ring their guns Am G Salt and sulfur curse the water, Dreams like a fever comes F Am Here the hills are burnt and bare, Here the hot winds carve the stones F Am E E7 Am Where coyotes skulk and wail, And the demons make their home... F Am F E7 Ah, welcome to the desert, Burning dust, angry thorns F Am F E E7 Am Ah, welcome to the desert, Hell was never quite this warm.... Am G Here the line don’t give a damn, Bring your best, do your worst Am G Everything here wants to k**l you, Vipers, steam, dreadful thirst F Am Whirlwinds spinning on the playa, Madness dancing in the air F E E7 Am Here’s a final court to try you, Beg for mercy if you dare..... Am G See the crumbling miner’s cabin, Hills of ash and cinder cone Am G See the slag heaps on the ridge line, Sticking up like dragon’s bones F Am See the hoof prints of the devil, In the black rock plain as day F E E7 Am Here’s a gate that leads to hell, come with me I’ll show the way..... F Am F E7 Ah, welcome, to the desert, Burning dust, angry thorns F Am F E7 Am Ah, welcome, to the desert, Hell was never quite this warm... F Am Ah, welcome, to the desert F Am Nobody’s welcome, to the desert F Am Ah, welcome to the desert F E E7 Am
