Give Us Rain

D   G   A7   Bm   C   G   A   D

[Verse]
D                G        
Grandpa raised a family on a 
   A7              D
worn-out cotton farm
         G                         
Borrowed money on his word he never
 A7         Bm
 did nobody harm
    G              C              
Sometimes he'd get discouraged 
    A7             D
when a dry spell came around
     D             G              
He'd go out in the cotton field 
       C
and he'd kneel down on the ground

[Chorus]
         D  D/F# G D/F#    Em   
Give us rain_______on this dry 
   A7       D
old ground today
        D  D/F# G         
Give us rain____    wash the 
   A7             Bm
troubled times away
  G              D                
I believe you're faithful I'm not 
A7             Bm
meaning to complain
    C                  G          
But Lord we sure could use a 
  D
little rain
C                  G            D
Lord we sure could use a little rain

[Verse 2]
D     D/F#     G         A7    
I moved to the city when I 
          D
turned twenty-two
D     D/F#     G              
I saw a way of living that my 
A7            Bm
grandpa never knew
          G             C         
I'm a different kind of farmer in 
  A7                D
a different kind of field
D    D/F#         G         C
Planting words of hope in a ground 
as hard as steel

[Chorus]
        D  D/F# G D/F#    Em    
Give us rain_______on this dry 
   A7       D

   A7             Bm
troubled times away
  G              D                
I believe you're faithful I'm not

meaning to complain
    C                  G          
But Lord we sure could use a 
  D

C                  G            
Lord we sure could use a little

[Verse 3]
          E               A       
There's a crop of thirsty people 
       B7             E
in this dry old dusty town
 E                    A           
They grow up fast and wither when 
    B7                  C#m
the scorching sun comes down
A                   D             
Although there is a difference the
 B7                E
 need is still the same
 E                  A          
Just like grandpa's cotton field 
       D
they need a little rain


[Chorus]
        E     A          F#m     
Give us rain___ _on this dry old 
B7       E
ground today
        E    A           B7      
Give us rain____wash the troubled
       C#m
 times away
A                E               
I believe you're faithful I'm not
B7              C#m
 meaning to complain
    D                  A          
But Lord we sure could use a 
  E
little rain
D                  A/C#  B      E
Lord we sure could use a little rain
D                  A            E
Lord we sure could use a little rain
D                  A/C#  B      E
Lord we sure could use a little rain
