San Antonio Rain is called.
[G]
Seems like everybody's trying to [C] sell me something I don't need.
Might be a half-pound of cocaine, quarter-gram of Mexican wheat.
But [Am] the last thing I need is [C] something that'll dull [G] my pain.
I'd walk from here to San Antonio [C] just to taste the cool [G] tongue of the rain.
But the [D] rain ain't gonna come.
No, the rain [C] don't wanna come.
[G]
Give me something strong.
[C] I think I've felt [G] enough of this.
I asked the bartender for doubles.
[C] The bartender says [G] I should quit.
[Am] Once I could find a friendly [C] face in every corner [G] of this town.
When you don't recognize a single [C] soul, what's the use in [G] hanging around?
Cause [D] the rain ain't gonna come.
No, the rain don't [C] wanna come.
Rain ain't [D] gonna come.
No, the rain don't [C] wanna come.

[G] put my fingertip close.
You [C] whispered something pretty [G] in my ear.
I just laid down to rest my [C] eyes.
When I woke up, there was [G] nobody there.
I hear the [Am] ocean calling, [C] calling like a long [G] lost friend.
Think I'll go back to California, [C] but I'm not sure they'd [G] let me in.
The rain [D] ain't gonna come.
No, the rain [C] don't wanna come.
Rain [D] ain't gonna come.
