In the middle of a dusty day

And the rainmaker said to the people of Kansas 
  F                       C 
'What you are prepared to pay' 
         G                    D

'I can bring you on a rain today'

Bridge:
G                        C 
Was ninety degrees in the heat where it's shady 
G                      F   C 
Hundred and ten in the hot sun 
G                               C 
Heat from the street burned the feet of the ladies 
F            G              A 
See how they run...how they run

Verse 2:
 
G                D 
Called down the lightning 
F             C 
By a mystical name 
         G         D 
Then the rainmaker called on the thunder 
    F                    C 
And it suddenly began to rain 
         G                    D 
Then the rainmaker passed his hat to the people 
        F                  C 
But the people all turned away 
         G 
Then the rainmaker's eyes 
        D 
And the Kansas skies 
     F                    C 
They both became a darker grey

Verse 3:
 
         G            D 
It's the first day in August 
F                      C 
Hasn't been rain since May 
         G         D 
When the rainmaker came into Kansas 
       F                 C 
In the middle of a dusty day 
    G                      D 
The rainmaker smiled as he hitched up his wagon 
F                      C 
Without a word he rode way 
        G                            D 
And the people of the town heard the sound of his laughter 
     F                         C 
They knew the rain had come to stay 

Banter 
G  D F C  (repeat through out) 
And they were so afraid, 
G  D F C 
Well if the rain continued, surely,they would lose all their crops 
G  D F C 
and in the ensuing flood they would lose their very farms 
G  D F C 
and they were so afraid. 
G  D F C 
What can they do, they said, 
G  D F C 
We'll have to get some airplanes in here, 
G  D F C 
We'll get 5 or 6 of those big bombers and will spray the clouds. 
G  D F C 
We'll use some of those fine chemicals they have on the market now. 
G  D F C 
So up went 5 big airplanes and they dumped phosphates, 
G  D F C 
and they dumped octoates, and they dumped all kinds of ates on the clouds, 
G  D F C 
but nothing happened, except that the clouds got a little darker, 
G  D F C 
and it rained a little harder. 
G  D F C 
And so, in a fit of panic, the people got together again and said, 
G  D F C 
We've got to do something to stop this rain, 
G  D F C 
and a little man said, well, why don't you sing? 
G  D F C 
And they said, well ok, we sing in church on Sundays, 
G  D F C 
I suppose it would be alright to sing here too so they got together 
G  D F C 
and said, ok, let's do it but, what should we sing? 
G  D F C 
And the young man said, well, if you want the rain to go away, 
G  D F C 
I'd suggest you sing, rain rain, go away, come again another day, 
G  D F C 
or something like that and eventually you will just disburse the clouds. 
G  D F C 
So, they said, we'll give it a try. 
G  D F C 
But you must remember that Kansas is a very uptight little community 
G  D F C 
and so the result when all of these people got together to sing 
G  D F C 
was that no one wanted anyone else to know that it was going on. 
G  D F C 
So, it sounded kinda' like, uh, 
G  D F C 
(muffled) rain rain oh won't ya go away, come again another day. 
G  D F C 
No spirit in it at all and the little man said, 
G  D F C 
'Now if you really believe in something, it's gonna work out for you, 
G  D F C 
but if you don't believe in it, 
G  D F C 
it's not gonna work at all, so ya gotta' sing it you know!' 
G  D F C 
And they all said, well ok, I suppose we can do it. 
G  D F C 
It was very quiet at first, you could hardly hear it. 
G  D F C 
It was just a little: rain rain go away, come again another day 
G  D F C 
rain rain go away, come again another day 
G  D F C 
Then a few more people heard it, 
G  D F C 
rain rain go away, come again another day 
G  D F C 
then a few more joined in 
G  D F C 
rain rain go away come again another day.
