Verse:
C                               G
Hear mom singing in the kitchen
                           D
My ears stuck to her like glue
D
Probably some old gospel

That her momma knew
C                        G
I would sit at the piano
                   D
On a long slow afternoon
D

Press down seven keys
                          C   Em  G
See what happens as they move

Chorus:
     C
Grey rain is a fallin
        G
This weather is appallin
    D
The streets of a small town
    G
Are dirty and common
     C
The house that I grew up in
     G
Has long been forgotten
          D                        G
But these memories are calling me home

Verse:
C                            G
There were bats in the attic
                         D
Their day slow and static
D
They plan their escape
D
In a cloud they leave fast and frantic
C                          G
They fly down by the river
                  D
Soggy Saugeen river
D
While the full moon’s light
                                          C   Em  G
From way up high makes the dew shine silver

Chorus:
     C
Grey rain is a falling
     G
This weather is appallin
    D
The streets of a small town
    G
Are dirty and common
     C
The house that I grew up in
     G
Has long been forgotten
          D                        G
But these memories are calling me home

Instrumental:
C G D G x2

Verse:
C                            G
On the edge of a small town
                             D
Where the wild thistles grow
D
Seen the tracks pulled up

But that death happened long ago
C                         G
So we made plans to travel
                            D
Not much else to us seemed good
D
Like a weed pulled up
                                           C Em G
Storm cloud rolling through the neighbourhood

Chorus:
     C
Grey rain is a falling
     G
This weather is appallin
    D
The streets of a small town
    G
Are dirty and common
     C
The house that I grew up in
     G
Has long been forgotten
          D                        G
But these memories are calling me home
     C
The house that I grew up in
     G
Has long been forgotten
            D                         C  G
But these memories are calling me home
