Sleepy Town

                        G
I whisper beautiful secrets into
                        C
The drainpipes at night
For the old folks while they're 
        G
sleeping
NC
Something to help them with their 
dreams


[Verse 2]
                                G
I climb the wall to the cemetery
NC
Lay down on the grave of my father
NC
I hear him asking me for forgiveness
NC
So I close my eyes in prayer


[Chorus]
G                       C
And then a rainy-rainy-rain falls 
down
G                       C
A cool rainy-rain upon my head
G                       C
It makes the river overflow it's 
banks
F               C      
And wash my cares away to 
         G
Sleepy-town


[Verse 3]
G                       C
I pour whiskey in the honeycomb
Continúa después del anuncio
G                       C
It makes the bees all turn to angels
G                       C
I watch 'em fly off into heaven

F                       C
Disappear where I can't follow
G                       C
And I would write Jesus a letter
G                       C
But I hear that he don't speak 
English...
G                       C
So instead I'll just throw these 
cobblestones
F                       C
Until I ring that old church bell


[Chorus]
G                       C
Until the rainy-rainy-rain fall down
G                       C
Cool rainy-rain upon my head
G                       C
It makes the river overflow it's 
banks
F                       C
And wash my cares away to 
Sleepy-town

G       C               G       
In Sleepy-town, you let the wild
        D
 wind blow away your name
G               C               
In Sleepy town, you let the 
G       D               C
healing rain just wash your pain 
away


[Verse 4]
G                       C
I see a light on in the station
G                       C
Yeah someone is waiting for a train
G                       C
And I envy them their leaving
F                       C
As I turn to head back home again
G                       C
For soon the morning sun will rise
G                       C
And this little town will open up 
its eyes.
G                       C
And return from the land where I've 
never been
F                       C
From a Sleepy-town, that's free


[Chorus]
G                                 
From all that  rainy-rainy-rain 
      C
fall down
G                                 
Cool rainy-rain upon my head
      C

G                              
It makes the river overflow it's 
         C
banks
F                       
And wash my cares away to 
                C
Sleepy-town


G               C               
In Sleepy-town, you let the wild
G               D
 wind blow away your name
G               C               
In Sleepy town, you let the 
G               D               
healing rain just wash your pain 
C
away
