[C] Seven lonely days and a dozen times [Gm] ago, I [C] reached out one night and you were gone.
[F]
Don't know why [G] you'd run, what [C] you're running to [A] or from, [D] all I know is I want to bring you home.
[G]
So I'm [C] walking in the rain, thumbing for a [Gm] ride [C] on this lonely Kentucky back road.
[F] I've loved you much too [G] long, [C]
my love's too [A] strong to let [D] you go, never knowing what went [G] wrong.
[F]
[D] And tuggy rain keeps pouring [C] [G] down, [Em]
and up ahead's another town that I go [F] walking through.
With the rain in [Em] my shoes, [Am]
searching for [F]
you [G] in the cold Kentucky [C] rain, [Em]
in the [G] cold Kentucky [C]
rain.
[F]
[C]
Showed your photograph to some old gray bearded men sitting on a bench outside a general store.
They said, [F] yes, she's been [G] here, but their [C] memory [Am] wasn't clear.
[D] Was it yesterday?
No, wait, the day [G]
before.
[C] Finally got [Gm] a ride [C] with a preacher man who [Gm] asked, were you [C] bound on such a cold dark afternoon?
As we [F] drove on through the [G] rain, as he [C] listened, [Am] I explained [D] that he left me with a prayer that I'd find [C]
you.

[D] Kentucky rain keeps pouring [C] down, [Em] and up ahead's [Am] another town that I go [F] walking through.
