[G]
[C] 7 lonely days and a dozen times [Gm] ago [C] I reached out [G] one night and [C] you were gone
[Gm]
[F#] Don't know why [G] you'd run, [C] what you're running to [Am] or [D] from
All I know is I want to bring you home
[G]
[C] So I'm walking [Gm] in the rain, [C] thumbing [Gm] for a ride
[C] On this lonely [Gm] Kentucky [C] back [Gm] road
[Fm] I've loved you much [G] too long, [C] my [Am] love's too strong
[E] To let you [D] go, never knowing what [Dm] will grow
[G] [Am]
[D] Kentucky rain keeps [C] falling [G] down
[Em] And up ahead's another [Am] [G] town [F] that I go walking through
With [C] the rain in [Em] my [Am] shoes, [F] searching for [G] you
It's [C] [Em]
[Am] [G] cold [C] Kentucky rain
[F] Showed [C]
[G] [C] you [G] photographs of some [E] old gray bearded [G] men
[C] Sitting on a bench [Gm] outside a general store
[F] They said yes, [G] she's been here, but their memory wasn't clear
[D] Was it yesterday?
No, wait, the day [C] before
[G]
Finally [C] [Gm] got a ride [C] with a preacher man [Gm] who asked
[C] Were you bound on such [Gm] a cold dark [C] afternoon?
[Gm] As [F] we drove on through [G] the rain, [Am] as he listened, I explained
[D] That he loved me
With a prayer that I'd find [C] you
[F]
[D] Kentucky rain keeps [C] falling [Em] down
And up ahead's another [Am] [C] town that I go [F] walking through
[C] With the rain in [Em] my [Am] shoes, searching [F] for you
[G] [C]
