First day in August, the last rain was in May.
When the rainmaker came to Kansas in the middle of a dusty day.
[F#] Said the [G] rainmaker to the people, tell me what you are prepared to pay.
Said the rainmaker to the people, now we'll conjure up a [G#] rain today.
[F#] [B] [E] [F#] [E]
[B] [F#] Ninety degrees [B] beneath the trees [E] where it's [F#] shady.
Hundred and ten [E] in the [B] hot [F#] sun.
Heat from the street [B] burns the feet [E] of the [C#m] ladies.
See how [F#] they run.

[G#] [D#] [F#] [C#]
[G#] a [D#] lightning, [F#] by a mystical [C#] name.
[G#] And the [D#] rainmaker called on the thunder [F#] and it suddenly began [C#] to rain.
[G#] And the rainmaker passed [D#] his hat to the people [F#] but the people all turned [C#] away.
[G#] And the rainmaker's eyes [D#] in the Kansas skies, [F#] well they both became a darker [C#]
gray.
