Verse:

G+G             Cadd9Cadd9
The old man loaded up everything that he owned
G+G             D MajorD  Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
On a wagon and headed out west
G+G             Cadd9Cadd9
The old woman fearlessly faced the unknown
G+G                  D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
'Cause she figured he knew what was best
Cadd9Cadd9                 G+G
And they settled down hard on a government grant
Cadd9Cadd9                G+G    D MajorD
With six mouths to feed and forty acres to plant

Chorus:

          E minorEm E minor 7Em7 Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD
And the rain came down
      E minorEm        Cadd9Cadd9
Like an angel come down from above
          E minorEm E minor 7Em7 Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD
And the rain came down
    E minorEm               Cadd9Cadd9  D MajorD G+G
It'll wash you away and there ain't never enough


Verse:

G+G               Cadd9Cadd9
Fall turned to winter another year gone
G+G        D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
Over and over again
G+G                Cadd9Cadd9
Some took their lives from their land and moved on
G+G                 D MajorD Dsus4Dsus4 D MajorD
And some stayed on to plow it back in
C majorC                  G+G
And the good Lord he giveth and he taketh away
Cadd9Cadd9                G+G      D MajorD
And the restless shall go and the faithful shall stay

Chorus:
         E minorEm E minor 7Em7 C majorC D MajorD
And the rain came down
      E minorEm        C majorC
Like an angel come down from above
          E minorEm E minor 7Em7 C majorC D MajorD
And the rain came down
    E minorEm               C majorC   D MajorD  G+G
It'll wash you away and there ain't never enough

Bridge:

D MajorD
Now my grandaddy died in the room he was born in
Cadd9Cadd9         G+G
Twenty-three summers ago
D MajorD                   Cadd9Cadd9
But I could have sworn he was beside me this morning
                  G+G
When the sheriff showed up at my door

Verse:

Cadd9Cadd9                     G+G
So don't you come around here with your auctioneer man
Cadd9Cadd9                     G+G       D MajorD                   D MajorD
'Cause you can have the machines but you ain't taking my land


Chorus:

         E minorEm E minor 7Em7 Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD
And the rain came down
      E minorEm        Cadd9Cadd9
Like an angel come down from above
          E minorEm E minor 7Em7 Cadd9Cadd9 D MajorD
And the rain came down
    E minorEm               Cadd9Cadd9  D MajorD  G+G
It'll wash you away and there ain't never enough
