Praying For Rain - Don Henley

INTRO:  G+G  E minorEm  B minorBm   (x2)

VERSE 1:
G+G          Bm/F#        E minorEm         G/DG/D
Something?s different, something?s changed, and I don?t know why
Cmaj7Cmaj7                    G+G      D MajorD
Even the old folks can?t recall when it?s ever been this hot and dry
G+G      Bm/F#      E minorEm      G/DG/D
Dust devils whirlin? on the first day of July
    Cmaj7Cmaj7               Dsus4Dsus4       D MajorD
It?s a hundred degrees at 10 am, and not a cloud up in the sky

VERSE 2:
G+G       Bm/F#    E minorEm          G/DG/D
We hardly had a winter, and had about a week of spring
Cmaj7Cmaj7                     G+G           D MajorD
Crops are burned up in the fields, there?s a blanket of dust on everything
G+G          Bm/F#       E minorEm        G/DG/D
The weather man is sayin? that there ain?t no change in sight
Cmaj7Cmaj7                    Dsus4Dsus4      D MajorD
Lord, I?ve never been a prayin? man, but I?m sayin? one tonight

CHORUS:
         G+G  E minorEm  B minorBm           G+G  E minorEm  B minorBm  D MajorD
I?m prayin? for rain,      I?m prayin? for rain
   Cmaj7Cmaj7      G+G          E minorEm     D MajorD    C majorC
Lord, I ain?t never asked for much, and I don?t mean to complain
           G+G  E minorEm  B minorBm
But I?m prayin? for rain

VERSE 3:
G+G     Bm/F#  E minorEm       G/DG/D
I ain?t no wise man, but I ain?t no fool,
Cmaj7Cmaj7                G+G       D MajorD
And I believe that mother nature is taking us to school
G+G       Bm/F#       E minorEm       G/DG/D
Maybe we just took too much and put too little back
Cmaj7Cmaj7            Dsus4Dsus4    D MajorD
It isn?t knowledge, it?s humility we lack

CHORUS:
         G+G  E minorEm  B minorBm           G+G  E minorEm  B minorBm  D MajorD
I?m prayin? for rain,      I?m prayin? for rain
   Cmaj7Cmaj7      G+G          E minorEm     D MajorD    C majorC
Lord, I ain?t never asked for much, and I don?t mean to complain
           G+G  E minorEm  B minorBm
But I?m prayin? for rain

BRIDGE:
Cmaj7Cmaj7               G+G
Some people pray for victory, some people pray for peace
Cmaj7Cmaj7                 G+G
Some people pray for extra time, some pray for sweet release
Cmaj7Cmaj7                   E minorEm          D MajorD
Some pray for health and happiness, for riches un-renowned
Cmaj7Cmaj7                    D MajorD
But none of this will matter much if the waters don?t come down

CHORUS:
         G+G  E minorEm  B minorBm           G+G  E minorEm  B minorBm  D MajorD
I?m prayin? for rain,      I?m prayin? for rain
   Cmaj7Cmaj7      G+G          E minorEm     D MajorD    C majorC
Lord, I ain?t never asked for much, and I don?t mean to complain
           G+G  E minorEm  B minorBm
But I?m prayin? for rain

ENDING:  G+G  E minorEm  B minorBm
I?m prayin? for rain (rpt.)
