I Wish It Would Rain(Chords)

	        
  
          G                                               C      G   
Oh, I wish it would rain and wash my face clean.   
                                                                  D   
I want to find some dark clouds to hide in here.   
                          G                            C      G   
Oh, love in a memory sparkles like diamonds.   
                                 D                          Em  C   
When the diamonds fall they burn like tears,   
                                  G             D           G   
When the diamonds fall, they burn like tears. 
  

      G                                     C          D            Em               G   
Once I had a love from the Georgia pines who only cared for me.   
                   C                     G              Em               D   
I want to find that love of twenty-two here at thirty-three.   
                 G                           C              G         D                      Em   
I got a heart on my right and one on my left but neither suits my needs,   
                    C        G       C          G          D                         G   
'cause the one I love is way out west  and he never will need me.   

Chorus   

           G                         C                  G   
I'm gonna pack up my two-steppin' shoes   
              D                                 Em   
and head for the Gulf Coast plains.   
                   C             G              C            G   
I want to walk the streets of my old hometown   
                 Em                           D   
Where everybody knows my name.   
                    G                             C       G   
I'm gonna ride the train down to Galveston   
                     D                 Em   
When the hurricanes blow in,   
                       C             G                 C            G       
'cause that Gulf Coast water tastes sweet as wine   
                        Em                D               G   
when your heart's blowing home in the wind.   

(Chorus)
