D          Am
Desert Sky
                D          Am
Dream beneath a desert sky
                     D          Am
The rivers run but soon run dry
            D             Am
We need new dreams tonight
D          Am
Desert rose
                D          Am
Dreamed I saw a desert rose
              D                  Am
Dress torn in ribbons and in bows
      D                Am
Like a siren she calls to me
 
[Chorus] 0:53
Em           G      D    Em        G    D
Sleep comes like a drug... In God's Country
Em       G           D    Em        G    D
Sad eyes crooked crosses... In God's Country

[Verse] 1:15
        D     Am
Set me alight
                         D                 Am
We'll punch a hole right through the night
             D           Am
Everyday the dreamers die
                  D          Am
See what's on the other side
       D        Am
She is Liberty
                 D         Am
And she comes to rescue me
                 D        Am
Hope, faith, her vanity
                 D       Am
The greatest gift is gold
 
[Chorus] 1:46
C            G      D    Em        G    D
Sleep comes like a drug... In God's Country
C        G           D    Em        G    D
Sad eyes crooked crosses... In God's Country

[Verse] 2:24
D           Am
Naked flame
                  D           Am
She stands with a naked flame
                 D            Am
I stand with the sons of Cain
               D           Am
Burned by the fire of love
               D           Am
Burned by the fire of love

Actually the second chorus ("Sleep comes like a drug..") starts on a C, not an E minor. Just play a C every time there is an Em as above and you will be closer to the Joshua Tree recording.

G5Man is band on the money, what's with all the down votes!

The C in the chorus does not sound like it belongs...
