Please welcome to the stage for his fourth appearance at Farm Aid, the singular Mr.
Steve [Em] Earl.
[N] Thank y'all.
Let me get that alcohol off you, alright? _
And I do.
_ [Bb] _ _ [Gm] _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Gm] _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] I'm [F] trying hard to let you [Gm] go, but there's more [Dm] than I can do.
[Eb] I never [Bb] dared to, [Bb] _ [Eb]
wonder [Bb] right back where I started.
I'm [F] trying hard to [Gm] let you know that I'm still in love [Dm] with you.
[Eb] You can't just sit home and [Bb] bloom.
[Eb]
There ain't no [Fm] rest for the [Bb] broken-hearted.
Just because you won't unlock [F] your door, _ _ [Gm] that don't mean you don't love me [F] anymore.
So, _ [Bb] I'm [F] never gonna let you [Gm] go, no matter [Dm] what you do.
[Eb] Because you [Ebm] know there's more than [Bb] I can do.
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ [Bb] _
_ [Gm] _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
You told [F] me I [Gm] gotta stop, but there's more than [Dm] I can do.
[Eb]
That ain't nothing [Bb] new.
_ [Eb] We both know [F] that I'm [Bb] crazy about you.
You [F] said you're gonna call the [Gm] cops, but I ain't gonna [Dm] run.
[Eb] Because you're the [Bb] only [Bb] one.
[Eb] There ain't no [Gm] way I can live without you.
You left me just when I [F] needed you.
_ _ _ [Gm]
And I ain't even close to [F] three with you.
_ _ [Bb] So, I'm [F] never gonna let you [Gm] go, no matter [Dm] what you do.
[Eb] Because you [Ebm] know there's more than [Bb] I can do.
_ [Gm] _
_ [Dm] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ [Ebm] _ [Bb] _
_ _ _ _ [N] _ _ _ _
[G] Well, _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ _ [G] the old man loaded up everything that he owned.
On a wagon and headed out west.
The old lady fearlessly faced the unknown.
She figured he knew what was [D] best.
[G] And they settled down hard on a government grant.
Had six miles to feed [D] and 40 acres to plant.
And the rain [Em] came down.
_ [D] _
[G] Like an angel coming down from above, the rain [Em] came down.
_ [D] _
_ [G] It'll wash you away, and there ain't [D] never enough. _ _
[G] Fall came to winter, another year gone.
Over and over [D] again.
_ [G] Some took their lives from the land and moved on.
Some stay on to plow it [D] back in.
[G] _ The Lord giveth and he taketh away.
And the rest shall go, the faithful [D] shall stay.
And the rain [Em] came down.
Like [D] _ [Em] an angel coming [G] down from above, the rain [Em] came down.
[D] _ _ [C] It'll wash [G] you away, and there ain't never enough. _ _ _ _
[C] _ [G] _ _ [C] _ [G] _ [D] _ _ [G] _
_ _ [C] _ [G] _ [C] _ _ [Am] _
Now, my [D] granddaddy died, and the room he was born [G] in.
23 summers ago.
[D] I could have sworn he was beside me this morning.
When the [G] sheriff showed up at my door.
So don't you come around here with your auctioneer man.
You can have these machines, [D] but you ain't taking my land.
And the rain [Em] came down.
_ [D] _ _ [G] Like an angel coming down from above, the rain came [Em] down.
_ [D] _ [G] It'll wash you away, and there ain't never [Dm] enough.
_ [G] _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ [G] _ [D] [G] Ho! _
_ [C] _ [G] _ _ [C] _ [G] _ [D] _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [N] Thanks, y'all. _
