(verse 1)
C G7 C F
Seven lonely days, and a dozen towns ago,
C F C - C7
I reached out one night and you were gone,
F G7
I don't know why you'd run,
C Am7 - D7
what you're running to or from,
G7
all I know is I want to bring you home,
(verse 2)
C G7 - C
So I'm walking in the rain,
F C F C C7
Thumbing for a ride, on this lonely Kentucky back road,
F G7
I've loved you much too long,
C Am7
My loves too strong,
D7 G7
To let you go never knowing what went wrong,
D C - Bm
Kentucky rain keeps pouring down,
Em7 Am7 - G7
And up aheads another town,
F Em7 F C
That I'll go walking through,
C Em7 Am7 F - G7
With the rain in my shoes, searching for you,
C - Em7
In the cold Kentucky rain,
F G7 C
In the cold Kentucky rain,
(verse 3)
Showed your photograph,
To some old gray bearded men,
Sitting on a bench outside a general store,
They said yes, she's been here,
But their memory wasn't clear, was it yesterday,
No wait, the day before.
(verse 4)
Finally got a ride with a preacher man,
Who asked where you bound for,
On such a cold dark afternoon,
As we drove on through the rain,
As he listened, I explained, and he left me,
With a prayer that I'd find you.
(Chorus)
D C - Bm
Kentucky rain keeps pouring down,
Em7 Am7 - G7
And up aheads another town,
F Em7 F C
That I'll go walking through,
C Em7 Am7 F - G7
With the rain in my shoes, searching for you,
C - Em7
In the cold Kentucky rain,
F G7 C
In the cold Kentucky rain,
