[verse 1]
C      F                    G   
And I, I was married in the town
             C     C C F G
 where I was born
        C     F              
And the rain, it pooled in the 
  G                 C    C C F G
fields around the farm
    C    F               G       
And her, the dust in her hair and
               C     C C F G
 my kid in her arms
       C      F                G 
I bent early, one night in the 
                C     C C F G
winds of a silent storm

[Bridge]
Dm7             Am
My skin in her mother's hands
Dm7             Am
Dishsoap and a wedding band
Dm7           G              C  
One voice, it only speaks so 
        C C F
loud here
F             G              C  
One voice, it only speaks so 
        C C F G
loud here

[Verse 2]
    C      F         G           
And Bobby, under the awning to 
        C     C C F G
shake the sun
        C       F              G 
He says listen, on the hottest 
                     C    C C F G
day when it's dead and calm
        C     F         G    
And the sound is like a freight 
                 C       C C F G
train rolling through
        C     F                    
And the rain, when it stops you'll 
G                  C      C C F G
know what's coming through

[Bridge]
Dm7             Am
Don't fill his head with that
Dm7             Am
The boy's only two and a half
Dm7           G
One voice, it only speaks
   C
To call your name
       G
And to take you out
         F                    G   
Past the dirt gray fields and 
               C
miles of telephone lines

[Verse 3]
    C      F      G               
And three, it was three long years
 C    C C F G
 ago
    C     F                G     
And five, five years comes 
         C    C C F G
sometime after four
    C  F           G        
And I, I dunked my head in the 
              C      C C F G
stream and prayed
        C      F               G 
And the water, it listened but it
             C    C C F G
 don't carry away
