Praying For Rain

INTRO:   G    Em    Bm     (x2)

VERSE 1:
G                    Bm/F#       
Something’s different, 
         Em                 G/D
something’s changed, and I don’t 
know why
Cmaj7                             
Even the old folks can’t recall 
          G            D
when it’s ever been this hot and dry
G            Bm/F#           Em 
Dust devils whirlin’ on the 
          G/D
first day of July
        Cmaj7                      
It’s a hundred degrees at 10 am, 
       Dsus4              D
and not a cloud up in the sky

VERSE 2:
G              Bm/F#        Em  
We hardly had a winter, and had 
                  G/D
about a week of spring
Cmaj7                             
Crops are burned up in the fields,
            G                
 there’s a blanket of dust on 
     D
everything
G                   Bm/F#        
The weather man is sayin’ that 
      Em                G/D
there ain’t no change in sight
Cmaj7                             
Lord, I’ve never been a prayin’ 
          Dsus4           D
man, but I’m sayin’ one tonight

CHORUS:
                 G    Em   Bm    
I’m prayin’ for rain,            
                 G    Em   Bm    D
I’m prayin’ for rain
     Cmaj7            G           
Lord, I ain’t never asked for 
        Em          D        C
much, and I don’t mean to complain
                      G    Em   Bm
But I’m prayin’ for rain

VERSE 3:
G          Bm/F#    Em           
I ain’t no wise man, but I ain’t 
  G/D
no fool,
Cmaj7                             
And I believe that mother nature 
  G              D
is taking us to school
G             Bm/F#              
Maybe we just took too much and 
Em             G/D
put too little back
Cmaj7                       Dsus4
It isn’t knowledge, it’s humility
        D
 we lack

CHORUS:
                 G    Em   Bm    
I’m prayin’ for rain,            
                 G    Em   Bm    D
I’m prayin’ for rain
     Cmaj7            G           
Lord, I ain’t never asked for 
        Em          D        C
much, and I don’t mean to complain
                      G    Em   Bm
But I’m prayin’ for rain

BRIDGE:
Cmaj7                              
Some people pray for victory, some 
G
people pray for peace
Cmaj7                          
Some people pray for extra time, 
        G
some pray for sweet release
Cmaj7                             
Some pray for health and 
         Em                    D
happiness, for riches un-renowned
Cmaj7                             
But none of this will matter much 
           D
if the waters don’t come down

CHORUS:
                 G    Em   Bm    
I’m prayin’ for rain,            
                 G    Em   Bm    D
I’m prayin’ for rain
     Cmaj7            G           
Lord, I ain’t never asked for 
        Em          D        C
much, and I don’t mean to complain
                      G    Em   Bm
But I’m prayin’ for rain
