[Intro] F7M  C7M  F7M  G11

C            Gm         C            Gm
Seven lonely days and a dozen towns ago
  C               Gm                 C    Gm
I reached out one night and you were gone
F                    G
Don't know why you'd run
            C          Am      D7
What you're running to or from
                                  G11  G
All I know is I want to bring you home

       C              Gm    C              Gm
So I'm walking in the rain, thumbing for a ride
        C       Gm            C         Gm      
On this lonely       Kentucky back road
     F                  G    C
I've loved you much too long
              Am     D7
My love's too strong
                                       G11   F7M  D7                                               
To let you go, never knowing what went wrong

                            C    G/B  Em
Kentucky rain keeps pouring down
                       Am   G    F    Em   F7M
And up ahead's another town that I'll go   walking through
         C          Em      Am
With the rain in my shoes
              G   F7M  G11
Searching for you
       G7            C    Em  F7M
In the cold Kentucky rain
       G       G7    C7M  F7M  G11
In the cold Kentucky rain

C                Gm            C                Gm
Showed your photograph to some old gray-bearded men
        C             Gm             C     Gm
Sitting on a bench outside a general store
            F               G
They said, "Yes, she's been here"
          C             Am
But their memory wasn't clear
       D7                             G11  G
Was it yesterday? No, wait, the day before

C             Gm          C                Gm
Finally got a ride with a preacher man who asked
           C               Gm             C     Gm
"Where you bound on such a cold dark afternoon?"
      F                    G
As we drove on through the rain
      C             Am
As he listened, I explained
       D7                                  G11  F7M  D7   
And he left me with a prayer that I'd find you

                            C    G/B  Em
Kentucky rain keeps pouring down
                       Am   G    F    Em   F7M
And up ahead's another town that I'll go   walking through
         C          Em    Am
With the rain in my shoes
              G   F7M  G11
Searching for you
       G7            C    Em  F7M
In the cold Kentucky rain
       G             C    Em  F7M
In the cold Kentucky rain
       G             C    Em  F7M
In the cold Kentucky rain
       G             C    Em  F7M
In the cold Kentucky rain
       G             C    Em  F7M
