G

[Verse 1]
         C       G        C       G
Will you comfort me in my time of need
C              G                D
Take away the pain and hurtful deed
            C         G               C       G
Cause when we need it most there's no rain at all
C              G                D
The dust just settles right there on the field

[Chorus]
         Am                       C
Will you say to me, little rain's gon' come
         G                       D
When the sky can't offer none to me
             Am                  C
Cause I will comfort you when my days are through
         G                   C             G
And I'll let your smile just off and carry me

[Verse]
Cause when the calm comes down
I take the truck on into town
And buy whatever we can't seem to grow
Work these hands to bleed
Cause I got mouths to feed
And I got fifteen dollars hid above the stove

[Chorus]
         Am                       C
Will you say to me, little rain's gon' come
         G                       D
When the sky can't offer none to me
             Am                  C
Cause I will comfort you when my days are through
         G                   C             G
And I'll let your smile just off and carry me

[Verse]
Cause it ain't like it was
On back in those days
When everyone would offer up a hand
These old bones are worn
I've grown tired son
I know my time is surely gonna come

[Chorus]
         Am                       C
Will you say to me, little rain's gon' come
         G                       D
When the sky can't offer none to me
             Am                  C
Cause I will comfort you when my days are through
         G                   C             G
And I'll let your smile just off and carry me

[Verse]
Lord we married young
Stayed where we come from
And gave those children everything we had

[Outro]
Will you stay with me
In my time of need
Though it seems we had such little time for love
