[VERSE]
G D7sus4/G G D7sus4/G
Seven lonely days and a dozen towns ago
G D7sus4/G G G7
I reached out one night and you were gone
C D G Em
Don't know why you'd run, what you're running to or from
A7sus4 A7 A7sus4 A7 | Dsus4 Dsus2 | D |
All I know is I want to bring you home
[VERSE]
G D7sus4/G G D7sus4/G
So I'm walking in the rain, thumbin' for a ride
G G7sus4 G G7
On this lonely Kentucky backroad
C D G Em
I've loved you much too long; my love's too strong
A7sus4 A7 A7sus4 A7 Dsus4 D Cmaj7 Cmaj7/B
To let you go, never knowing what went wrong.
[CHORUS]
A G D/F#
Kentucky rain keeps pouring down
Bm Em D C Bm Cmaj7
And up ahead's another town that I'll go walking through
Gmaj7 Em
With the rain in my shoes (rain in my shoes)
Em Em D C Dsus4
Searching for you----
D G Bm C
In the cold Kentucky rai-y-ai-ai-ai-ain,
3/4 4/4
D | G Gmaj7 | Cmaj7 | % | Dsus4 D |
In the cold Kentucky rain
[VERSE]
G D7sus4/G G D7sus4/G
Showed your photograph to some old gray bearded men
G D7sus4/G G
Sitting on a bench outside a general store
C D
They said "Yes, she's been here"
G Em
But their memory wasn't clear.
A7sus4 A7 A7sus4 A7 | Dsus4 | Dsus4 D Dsus2 D |
Was it yesterday? No, wait the day before
[VERSE]
G Dm7/G G Dm7/G
Finally got a ride, with a preacher man who asked,
G Dm7/G G
"Where you bound on such a cold, dark afternoon?"
C D G Em
As we drove on through the rain, as he listened I explained
A7sus4 A7 A7sus4 A7 Dsus4 D Cmaj7
And he left me with a prayer that I'd find you
[CHORUS] (+ outro)
A G D/F#
Kentucky rain keeps pouring down
Bm Em D C Bm Cmaj7
And up ahead's another town that I'll go walking through
Gmaj7 Em
With the rain in my shoes (rain in my shoes)
Em Em D C Dsus4
Searching for you----
D G Bm C
In the cold Kentucky rai-y-ai-ai-ai-ain
D G Bm C
In the cold Kentucky rai-y-ai-ai-ai-ain
D G Bm C
In the cold Kentucky rain, yeah yeah, yeah
D G Bm C
In the cold Kentucky rai-y-ai-ai-ai-ain
(repeat and fade)
