[Verse 1]
F                                    C
Parched crops dying 'neath a dead sun
F                                  C
We've been praying but no good comes
F                                   C
The dog's howling, home's stripped bare
F                                    C  F  C
We've been worried but now we're scared


[Verse 2]
F                                    C
People come for comfort or just to come
          F                                  C
Taste the dark sticky potion or hear the drums
F                                           C
Hands raised to Yahweh to bring the rain down
         F
He comes crawlin' 'cross the dry fields like a dark shroud


[Chorus]
F
Rainmaker, a little faith for hire
F
Rainmaker, the house is on fire
F
Rainmaker, take evеrything you have
    F                                                Bb         Bbsus4
Sometimes folks need to bеlieve in something so bad, so bad, so bad
               F          F
They'll hire a rainmaker (rainmaker)


[Verse 3]
F                                            C
Rainmaker says white's black and black's white
F                              C
Says night's day and day's night
F                                      C
Says close your eyes and go to sleep now
         F
I'm in a burnin' field unloadin' buckshot into low clouds


[Chorus]
F
Rainmaker, a little faith for hire
F
Rainmaker, the house is on fire
F
Rainmaker, take evеrything you have
    F                                                Bb         Bbsus4
Sometimes folks need to bеlieve in something so bad, so bad, so bad
               F          F
They'll hire a rainmaker (rainmaker)


[Bridge]
Bb                Bbsus4
Slow moving wagon drawing through a dry town
F
Painted rainbow, crescent moon and dark clouds
Bb              Bbsus4
Brother patriot come forth and lay it down
F                                     F
Your blood brother for king and crown for your rainmaker

[Verse 4]
          F                               C
They come for the smile, the firm handshake
          F                                C
They come for the raw chance of a fair shake
             F                       C
Some come to make damn sure, my friend
          F                                  C
This mean season's got nothin' to do with them
     F                                   C
They come 'cause they can't stand the pain
           F                     C
Of another long hot day of no rain
F                                  C
'Cause they don't care or understand
        F                                       Bb
What it really takes for the sky to open up the land


[Chorus]
F
Rainmaker, a little faith for hire
F
Rainmaker, the house is on fire
F
Rainmaker, take evеrything you have
    F                                                Bb         Bbsus4
Sometimes folks need to bеlieve in something so bad, so bad, so bad
               F
They'll hire a rainmaker
F
Rainmaker
