THE RAIN
THUNDER
INTRO: D MajorD C majorC G+G D MajorD FF G+G D MajorD
VERSE:
D MajorD C majorC G+G D MajorD
The sun beats down on this thirsting land
FF G+G D MajorD
Burning my will away
D MajorD C majorC G+G D MajorD
It's many a mile from the eastern shore
FF G+G D MajorD
And the hope I felt that day
D MajorD C majorC G+G D MajorD
We crossed the sea from the old country
FF G+G D MajorD
To the promised land we came
D MajorD C majorC G+G D MajorD
And then we headed west on a thankless quest
FF G+G D MajorD
To the place we staked our claim
CHORUS:
B minorBm
Now the eagle that's circling overhead,
D MajorD G+G D MajorD D
He knows my name
B minorBm F#F#
'Cause the only thing plentiful here is the
E minorEm
Dust on the plain
A augmentedA D MajorD D MajorD G+G D MajorD FF G+G D MajorD
Until God brings the rain
VERSE:
D MajorD C majorC G+G D MajorD
Wasn't always this way, back in the day
FF G+G D MajorD
All life sprang from this ground
D MajorD C majorC
But like a slow-burning curse
G+G D MajorD
Every year's gotten worse
FF G+G D MajorD
So someday it must turn around
CHORUS:
B minorBm
As the wagons are rolling on out
D MajorD G+G D MajorD D
They call me insane
B minorBm F#F#
But I'm not gonna let this land break me,
E minorEm
I'll be staying
A augmentedA D MajorD D MajorD G+G D MajorD
Until God brings the rain

INSTRUMENTAL:
D MajorD C majorC G+G D MajorD FF G+G D MajorD
D C majorC G+G D MajorD FF G+G D MajorD
VERSE:
D MajorD C majorC G+G D MajorD
The sun sits high in a cruel blue sky
FF G+G D MajorD
Mocking me every day
D MajorD C majorC G+G D MajorD
Last night I cried when a storm passed by
FF G+G D MajorD
About fifteen miles away
D MajorD C majorC G+G D MajorD
In a dream I saw the coast once more
FF G+G D MajorD
And I walked into the sea
D MajorD C majorC
I'd have been happy to die
G+G D MajorD
As that moment passed by
FF G+G D MajorD
But I woke to this misery
CHORUS:
B minorBm
And the way things are going
D MajorD G+G D MajorD D
I don't know how much more I can take
B minorBm
Well, I'm no kind of quitter
F#F# E minorEm
But how long can any man wait
A augmentedA E minorEm
How long must I wait
A augmentedA D MajorD D MajorD G+G D MajorD
'Til God brings the rain?
