[Verse]
C Csus2 C Csus4
Seven lonely days and a dozen towns ago,
C F C
I reached out one night and you were gone.
F G C C7 Am
Don't know why you'd run, what you're running to or from,
D D7 G7
all I know is I want to bring you home.
C Csus2 C Csus4
So I'm walking in the rain, thumbing for a ride on this
C F C
lonely Kentucky backroad.
F G C C7 Am
I've loved you much too long and my love's too strong
D D7 G7
to let you go, never knowing what went wrong.
[Chorus]
Fmaj7
(finger pick),
D C Bm
Kentucky rain keeps pouring down
Em Am
and up ahead's another town
G F Em Fmaj7
that I'll go walking thru
C
with the rain in my shoes,
Am Am7 G F G
searchin for you
C Em F
in the cold Kentucky rain,
G C
in the cold Kentucky rain.
Fmaj7 G
(pick),
[Verse]
C Csus2 C Csus4
Showed your photograph to some old gray bearded men
C F C
sitting on a bench outside a gen'ral store.
F G C C7 Am
They said "Yes, she's been here" but their mem'ry wasn't clear,
D D7 G7
was it yesterday, no, wait the day before.
C Csus2 C Csus4
So I fin'ly got a ride with a preacher man who asked:
C F C
"Where you bound on such a cold dark afternoon?"
F G
As we drove on thru the rain
C C7 Am
as he listened I explained
D D7 G
and he left me with a prayer that I'd find you.
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 (finger pick),
D C Bm
Kentucky rain keeps pouring down
Em Am
and up ahead's another town
G F Em Fmaj7
that I'll go walking thru
C
with the rain in my shoes,
Am Am7 G F G
searchin for you
C Em F
in the cold Kentucky rain,
G C Em F
in the cold Kentucky rain,
G C Em F
in the cold Kentucky rain,
G C Em F
in the cold Kentucky rain,
G C
in the cold Kentucky rain.
