Dirty Rain - Ryan Adams
[Verse 1]
ELast time I was here it was raining
It ain’t Araining anymore E  
EStreets were drowned and the water’s waning
All the ruins Awashed ashoreB  
Now I am C#mhere just looking through the rubbleG#m  
Tryin' to fiAnd out who we wereE  
Last timEe I was here it was raining
It ain’t Araining anymore E  
(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]
ASo
AMay the wind blow
A                                               E – base note run
May the moonlight know your name
ASo
ALet the needle pull the record ‘round
'til Bthe walls cave in
You and I are out there dancing
In the dirty raiEn
[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]
ASo
AMay the wind blow
A                                               E – base note run
May the moonlight know your name
ASo
ALet the needle pull the record ‘round
'til Bthe walls cave in
You and I we’re out there dancing
In the dirty raiEn
