Comin Down In The Rain chords by Nanci Griffith

Chords with lyrics

G+G
Flipped into the wind
              C majorC
Like the ashes of her cigarette
    D MajorD
He got scattered and thrown on the breeze
         G+G
As he tried to forget

He lost all his heat
                C majorC
And his heart never will be the same
    D MajorD
He got lighter than air
                G+G
But he'll only come down in the rain

Verse 2:

G+G
Strung out and hung out to dry
          C majorC
Laughin' under the line
   D MajorD
It's not such a dignified place
          G+G
But he really don't mind

G+G
He says with his feet on the ground
           C majorC
He'd have nothin' to gain
     D MajorD
Claims he likes it up there
                G+G
And he'll only come down in the rain

Chorus 1:

G+G         E minorEm
Comin' down in the rain
         C majorC
Washin' outta the sky
           D MajorD
Loaded down with the pain
              G+G
There just ain't no way to fly

G+G
You can read him as clear
                  C majorC
As the wall where he once wrote his name
    D MajorD
It was right next to hers
                G+G
But it'll only come down in the rain

Instrumental:

Verse 3:

G+G
Burnin' himself out on a limb
          C majorC
Like a leaf in the fall
  D MajorD
He blazed for awhile
                 G+G
Now he's feelin' all dried up and small

G+G
The colors all gone
                 C majorC
Disappeared, near as quick as it came
    D MajorD
He says he can't stay up
                 G+G
But, he'll only come down in the rain

Chorus 2:

G+G         E minorEm
Comin' down in the rain
         C majorC
Washin' outta the sky
           D MajorD
Loaded down with the pain
              G+G
There just ain't no way to fly

G+G
You can read him as clear
                  C majorC
As the wall where he once wrote his name
    D MajorD
It was right next to hers
                G+G
But it'll only come down in the rain

G+G
You can read him as clear
                  C majorC
As the wall where he once wrote his name
    D MajorD
It was right next to hers
                G+G
But it'll only come down in the rain
