[F]
[C] 7 [Gm] lonely [C] days and a dozen [Gm] towns ago [C] I reached [Gm] out one night [C] you were [Bb] gone
[C] [F] Don't know [G] why you'd run, [C] what you're running [Am] to or [D] from
All I know is I want to [A] bring you [G] home
[C] Walking [Gm] in the rain, [C] thumbing [Gm] for a ride [C] on this [Gm] lonely [C] Kentucky back [Bb] road
[C]
[F] I've loved you [G] much too [C] long, my [Am] love's too strong [D] to let you go
Never knowing [Gm] what went [F] wrong
[D] Kentucky rain keeps [C] pouring [G] down
[Em] And overhead's [Am] another [Gm] town [F] that [E] I [F] go walking through
[C] With the rain [Em] in my [Am] shoes, searching [F] for you
[G]
In cold Kentucky [C] [Em] rain, [F] in [G] the cold Kentucky [C]
rain
[F]
[G]
[C] Showed your [Gm] photographs [C] to some old [Gm] gray-bearded men
[C] Sitting on [Gm] a bench [C] outside a general [E] store
[F] They said, [G] yes, she's been here, [C] but their [Am] memory wasn't clear
[D] Was it yesterday?
No, wait, the [G] day before
Finally [C]
[Gm] they got a ride [C] with a preacher [Gm] man who asked
[C] Were you bound [Gm] on such a cold [C] gray afternoon?
[Bb] [C] [F] And we drove home [G] through the rain [C] as he listened
[Am] I explained [D] and he left me with a prayer that I'd [Gm] find you
[F]
Kentucky [D] rain keeps pouring [C] [G] down
[Em] And overhead's another [G] town [F] that [Em] I go [F] walking through
[C] With the rain in [Em] my [Am] shoes, searching [F] for [C] you
[G] In the cold [C] Kentucky rain, [Em] [F] [G] in the cold [C] Kentucky rain
[Em] [F] In [C] the cold Kentucky [E] rain,
[F] in [Gm] the cold Kentucky [C] rain
[Em] [F] In [G] the cold [C] Kentucky rain
[Em] [F] [G]
