Dirty Rain - Ryan Adams
[Verse 1]
E
Last time I was here it was raining
A E
It ain’t raining anymore
E
Streets were drowned and the water’s waning
A B
All the ruins washed ashore
C#m G#m
Now I am here just looking through the rubble
A E
Tryin' to find out who we were
E
Last time I was here it was raining
A E
It ain’t raining anymore
(same chords as verse 1)
Last time I was here you were waiting
You’re not waiting anymore
The window’s broke and the smoke’s escaping
All the books scattered 'cross the floor
And the church bells are ringing through the sirens
Your coat was full of bullet holes
Last time I was here you were waiting
You’re not waiting anymore
[Chorus]
A
So
A
May the wind blow
A E – base note run
May the moonlight know your name
A
So
A
Let the needle pull the record ‘round
B
'til the walls cave in
You and I are out there dancing
E
In the dirty rain
[Verse 2]
(same as verse 1)
Last time I was here it was raining
Like you have never seen it rain
And your eyes were filled with terror
And tears from the gasoline
As the stars exploded with gunfire
I saw you smiling just before
Last time I was here you were crying
You're not crying anymore
[Chorus]
A
So
A
May the wind blow
A E – base note run
May the moonlight know your name
A
So
A
Let the needle pull the record ‘round
B
'til the walls cave in
You and I we’re out there dancing
E
In the dirty rain
