[C] [D]
[C] [Em]
[C] [D]
[C] [Em] There's a man in my town named Howard McBain.
[D] One of you years ago he [Em] said come make it rain.
Crops they were all dying [C] back in 1893.
[A]
Howard came to town and [C] told him put your [Em] faith in me.
He rode in on a train [C] from east to [G] the big river.
It was so damn hot that morning [Em] still I couldn't help but shiver.
Daddy told me he wasn't nothing but a snake [C] or a dealer.
[A] To these desperate [Em] farmers Howard seemed like a fake dealer.
[C]
[A] [Em]
[C] [A]
[Em]
Howard told the people [C] that they wanted to have water.
[D]
Signed a dotted line bringing [C] them money, [Em] wine and dinner.
Common folk get desperate when there's nowhere left to turn.
[D] That summer was a scorcher, [C] the fields were so run.
So they gave him what he wanted, what else [G] could they give him?
And he winked and [A] laughed and told them [Em] I'll make it rain on you.
Then Howard climbed a hill [C] on the southern edge of town.
Then he [D] ran it and he chanted and the [E] rain came pouring [Em] down.
[C]
[D] [E]
Howard [B] McVane,
[Em] rode [C] in on that train.
Gonna [D] make it rain, this town will never [Em] be the same.
Howard McVane, rode [C] in on that train.

McVane.

[Em]
[C] [D]
[C] [E] This man in my town, [C] named Howard [Am] McVane.
[D] 20 years [C] ago he said he couldn't [Em] make it rain.
Now there ain't a woman in this [C] town Howard ain't defiled.
Ain't a thing that he don't want for 200 [Em] square miles.
He thought he was a miracle, [C] he was no Messiah.
[D] Now no man [C] of holy water can put [Dm] out [Em] this fire.
Train that came on straight from hell [C] 20 years ago.
He's [A] heading back to Hades [Em] with a cargo of lost souls.
[Bm] [E]
Howard he is [Bm] heading [C] to another drought of town.
With a [A] sign that started lying, [C] it'll make that [Em] rain come down.
Howard McVane, [D] he's a demon, an [Em] archangel [D] from hell.
[Em] Drain your soul [A] for a couple of drops [C] of water in your well.
[Em] Now you see [A] that all died in [Em] the ground where [D] they fell.
And [Em] he's on to find more suckers [D] who need rain.
