Kentucky rain
[C]Seven lonely [G]days and a [C]dozen towns a[F]go,
I [C]reached out one [F]night and you were [C]gone.[C7]
[F]Don't know why you'd [G]run, what you're [C]running to or [Am]from,
[D7]all I know is I want to bring you [G7]home.
So I'm [C]walking in the [G]rain, [C]thumbing for a [F]ride on this
[C]lonely Ken[F]tucky [C]backroad.[C7]
I've [F]loved you much too [G]long and [C]my love's too [Am]strong

As we [F]drove on thru the [G]rain as he l[C]istened
I ex[Am]plained and he [D7]left me with a prayer that I'd find [G7]you.[Fmaj7]
[D7]Kentucky rain keeps pouring [C]do[Bm]wn [Em]and up ahead's another [Am]town
[G]that [F]I'll [Em]go [F]walking [C]thru [Fmaj7]with the [C]rain in my [Em]shoes,[Am][Em][C]
