(VERSE)
(D/Dsus4)              (G)              (D/Dsus4)
I was born by the river, it was paved with cement
      (G)                               (D/Dsus4)
I was born by the river, it was paved with cement
(C)                                (A)
Still I'd stand in that dry river, dreamed that I
           (D/Dsus4)
was soakin' wet

(CHORUS)
(G)		  (D/Dsus4)
Someday it's gonna rain
(G)               (D/Dsus4)
Someday it's gonna pour
(G)		  (D/Dsus4)    (C)      (G)
Someday that old dry river, it won't be dry
   (D/Dsus4)
anymore

I used to play in the orange groves, till they bulldozed all the trees
I used to play in the orange groves, till they bulldozed all the trees
But I'd stand among those dead stumps and smell the blossoms on the leaves

Someday it's gonna rain
Someday it's gonna pour
Someday all those dead trees, they won't be dead any more

(Dave Solo)

I fell in love with a woman, but she did not fall for me
I fell in love with you baby, but you didn't fall for me
Now I'm dry as that old river and I'm dead as those old trees

Someday it's gonna rain
Someday it's gonna pour
Someday this old heart of mine is gonna fall in love once more

Someday it's gonna rain
Someday it's gonna pour
Someday this old dry river, well it won't be dry anymore
It won't be dry anymore
It won't be dry anymore
It won't be dry anymore
