Tuning: Standard
Artist: John Prine
Album: Great Days: The John Prine Anthology Disc 2
Year: 1993
       C
Intro: 
C                         G
The rain came down on the tin roof
         F                       G
Hardly a sound was left from the birthday party
F
The kitchen light
      G
Fell asleep
               C
On the bedroom floor
C               G
Me and her were talking softer
F
all the time
  G
Before I lost her
F                 G
Picture sat on the top
                C
Of the chest of drawers
Chorus:
F       G           C
One red rose in a Bible
F                   C         G
Pressed between a Holy alphabet
F                 G
Probably wouldn't believe you
     C
If you told me
           F
But what I never knew
  G             C    F   G   C
I never will forget
C               G
Rainy nights get dark real early
    F
Her dress was soft
    G
her hair was curly
   F                 G
We danced around the table
              C
To the old banjo
C                G
Rainy nights were made for lovers
   F
We lay there still
G
Beneath the covers
 F            G
And I ain't never felt
            C
Like that before
(Repeat Chorus)
