[F]
[Am] [G] [C] Seven lonely days and a dozen towns [Gm] ago, [C] I reached out one night and you were gone.
[Gm] [F] Don't know where [G] you'd run, [C] what you're running to [Am] or from, [D]
all I know is I want to bring you [G] home.
[C] So I'm walking [Gm] in the rain, [C] plumbing for a [Gm] ride [C] on this lonely [Gm] [C] Kentucky back road.
[Gm] [F]
I've loved you much [G] too long, [C] my love's [Am] too strong, I'll [D] let you go, never knowing [Dm] what we'll grow.
[G] [F]
[D] And the Kentucky rain keeps [C] pouring [G] down, [Em] and I'm ahead of [Am] the [G] town [F] now.
[Em]
[F] Walking with [C] the rain in [Em] my [Am] shoes, searching [F] for you.
[G] Oh, Kentucky [C] rain, [Em]
[F] [G] oh, [C] Kentucky [F] rain.
[Dm]
[G] [C] You showed your [F] photographs [C] to some old gray [G] bearded men, [C] sitting on a bench [F] outside [Cm] a general store.
[Gm] [F] They said, yes, [G] she's been here, [C] but their memory wasn't clear, [D] wasn't yesterday.
No, wait, the day [C] [G] before.
[C] Finally [Gm] got a ride [C] with a preacher [Gm] man who asked, [C] were you bound on [Gm] such a cold [C] dark afternoon?
[Gm] [F] As we drove on [G] through the rain, [C] as he listened, [Am] I exclaimed, I [D] love you.
What a prayer that I'd [Cm] find you.
[C] [F]
[D] And the Kentucky rain keeps pouring [C]
[Em] down, and I'm ahead of the [Am]
[Gm] town [F] that [Em] I'm [F] walking through.
[C] With the rain in [Em] my [Am] shoes, searching [F] for you.
[Cm] [G] And the Kentucky [C] rain, [Em] [F] [G] oh, [C] Kentucky [Em] rain, [F] [G] oh, [C] Kentucky [Em] rain.
[F] Mama told [G] you [C] to [Em] follow me, Mama [F] [C] told you to [Em]
[F] follow [G] me, Mama told [C] you to [Em]
follow [F] me
