        THE RAIN FOLLOWS THE PLOW
           CONOR OBERST

INTRO:
NONE


VERSE:
  G       Em
Straight away I learned to pray
   F       C
He prays upon the sky
      F        C
You go to heaven when you die
        G        F
But keep that lake of fire in mind

VERSE:
    G        Em
Broke all the rules at Catholic school
    F       Em
Turned to a life of crime
     F       C
When I stole that motorbike
      G        F
I left a trail of tears behind


BREAK:
      G
Had casual sex
    C  F
Smoked cigarettes
       G    C
Threw caution to the wind
    Dm
Was a winding path
    C
That I always plan
    G      F
To get back to you again


INSTRUMENTAL:
E Abm  E Abm  Dm  F


VERSE:
 G           Em
'Till the ground 'neath under clouds
   F        C
The rain follows the plow
      F      C
But it was never as profound
  G         F
As I had wanted it to be


VERSE:
   G          Em
The birds, they sang the rites of spring
  F       C
In summer's La-Z-Boy
  F       C
I sat down to enjoy a world
    G        F
That's comfortable in green


BREAK:
        G     C    F
A red feather hawk and a Celtic cross
       G   C
Are pierced into my ear
  Dm       C
No matter where I went I meant
  G        F
To make my way back here


INSTRUMENTAL:
E Abm  E Abm  Dm  F


VERSE:
    G         C   F
Well I don't need God or common law
      G      C
To tell me right from wrong
    Dm        C
'Cause when you press me to your chest
  G       F
I know where I belong


OUTRO:
C F C G  Am C Dm Em F Em Dm C
