[D] [E] He's [G] a man of his word, [A] he's a man [D]
of his word
[E] He's a man of his word, he's a man of his word
He's a man of his word, he's a man of his word
[A] Guess we'll [B] have to stay in bed today
Well [D] I heard that in Tulare,
[A] a little girl [D] miles from
[C#m] There's a son that you [E] can save
Lord let it [D] be a sudden [A]
rain
Girl is born in Macon, Georgia
[D] She met a West Coast lawyer
[E] He blocked last week's magnolias
And he [E] carried her to the hills [A] of West LA
She said I never thought I'd [E] tire of the dollar
[D] Mother's life has grown so hard
[E] Every night there's lipstick on her collar
[D] And every [E] morning I wash [A] it away
[D] She's running to every light, [A] a little bit [D] miles from
So [C#m] she spends her [E] evenings praying
For a [D] little of that [A] sudden rain
[G] Cause the love [F#m] on the city [E] streets
Is sparkling [A] like water
[F#m] Like waves beneath my windows
[Bm] Never break, [E] just roll away
[D] Tonight this [E] rain will be my [F#m] lullaby
[Bm] Cause
[D] my [E] heart's too heavy to [A] stay

The weather's [D] a bit of a rhyme
Spray of skin my vision
[E] But I'm closing in on my destination
[D] Two more [E] hours and I'll be [A] at your door
But it'll never cease to amaze me
I'll do [D] the rain, wind, dry forks, crazy
[E] Then I'll drink all my clear skies gladly
For [D] your blue, your [E] crooked smile
And [A] steady downpour
[D] And I've heard that into every life
[A] A little bit [D] miles from
But [E] you'll never catch [F#m] me complaining
[D] About too much [E] of that [Bm] sudden [A] rain
