Chords with lyrics

Intro:

A augmentedA D MajorD A augmentedA G+G


Verse:

DmDm   D MajorD
Slowly crawling 'cross the floor
    B minorBm
Comes a shadow through the window
     A augmentedA            D MajorD
From the house next door and the dust specks dancing
    B minorBm        D MajorD        A augmentedA
In the last of the light one more evening passing
  DbmDbm    D MajorD
She walked on tiptoes on a gravel bar
B minorBm              A augmentedA
Wet skin pale as the evening star
  D MajorD              A augmentedA     B minorBm
The North Platte winding like a silver eel
 G+G    D MajorD
Hands like rain on August fields

Chorus:

D MajorD        A augmentedA      B minorBm   G+G    D MajorD    A augmentedA
Hands like rain falling soft   to ease the drought inside
G+G      D MajorD A augmentedA     B minorBm    G+G        D MajorD G+G D MajorD
As memory fades not much remains but hands like rain


Verse:

B minorBm       D MajorD         G+G     D MajorD
Now I stand on stiff legs and I clutch the cane
   B minorBm              A augmentedA
And I search the sky for a sign of rain
     D MajorD            A augmentedA  B minorBm D MajorD
As if it matters as if it makes a damn
           A augmentedA
just an old man's habit

D MajorD          G+G     D MajorD
Down the street the schoolboys play
B minorBm           A augmentedA
Dime novel heroes from another day
G+G      D MajorD
Who now are nothing more than faceless names
   G+G     D MajorD    A augmentedA
And a nameless face with hands like rain

Chorus:

D MajorD        A augmentedA      B minorBm  G+G      D MajorD    A augmentedA
Hands like rain falling soft   to ease the drought inside
G+G      D MajorD A augmentedA     B minorBm    G+G        D MajorD G+G D MajorD
As memory fades not much remains but hands like rain

DbDb     D MajorD   G+G        D MajorD  B minorBm
We'd run by night and we'd hide by day
       A augmentedA
so the papers used to say
D MajorD          A augmentedA    G+G  D MajorD           A augmentedA
On stolen horses and borrowed time dancing girls and brandy wine


Bridge:

A augmentedA
I can hear them calling they're calling me
               D MajorD        A augmentedA
I can here them calling but I still can't see (no I can’t see it)


Chorus:

D MajorD        A augmentedA      B minorBm   G+G    D MajorD    A augmentedA
Hands like rain falling soft   to ease the drought inside
G+G      D MajorD A augmentedA     B minorBm    G+G        D MajorD G+G D MajorD
As memory fades not much remains but hands like rain


Bridge:

A augmentedA G+G D MajorD          G+G     D MajorD
   Life and 🏷Legend are an awkward pair
B minorBm               E minorEm    A augmentedA
  And there ain't much magic anywhere
 D MajorD                G+G
Except in moments we can't often steal
D MajorD         A augmentedA       D MajorD
Hands like rain on August fields


Chorus: x2

D MajorD        A augmentedA      B minorBm  G+G      D MajorD    A augmentedA
Hands like rain falling soft   to ease the drought inside
G+G      D MajorD A augmentedA     B minorBm    G+G        D MajorD G+G D MajorD
As memory fades not much remains but hands like rain
