Thunder- The Rain From the Album Wonder Days Chords

[D] _ [C] _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ [F] _
_ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ _
The sun [C] beats [Em] down on this [D] thirsting [G] land,
burning my will [D] away.
_ It's many a mile [G] from the eastern [D] shore,
[G] and the hope I felt [D] that day. _
We crossed the sea from the old country
[F] to the promised [Gm] land we [D] came.
_ _ And then we headed west on this thankless quest
[F] to the [G] place we [D] staked our claim.
_ [Bm] Now the eagle is circling overhead,
he [D] knows my [G] name.
_ [D] _ _ _ [Bm] Cause the only thing planet [F#] will hear
is the dust [Em] on the plain
_ till _ [A] God [D] brings the rain.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _
_ [G] _ _ [D] _ _ _ It wasn't always this way back in the day.
[Dm]
All [G] life sprang [D] from this ground,
but like a slow burning curse,
every year's gotten worse.
[F]
So [G] someday it must [D] turn around
as [Bm] the wagons are rolling on out.
Call [D] me insane,
_ [G] _ [D] _ _ _ but [Bm] I'm not gonna let [F#] this land break me.
[Em] I'll be staying _ till [A] God [D] brings the rain. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _
_ _ _ God help [Gm] me,
_ don't you forsake me [Dm] this way.
_ _ Am I nothing [A] to you?
_ [G] _ _ _ So much _ suffering,
[A#] _ _ must I stand in [E] your name? _
I'm only [A] asking for rain. _
_ _ _ [D] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _ _ [D] _
_ _ _ Sun [C] sits [G] high,
cruel [D] blue sky,
[C] mocking [G] me every [D]
day.
_ Last night [G] I cried when a storm [D] passed by
[F] about [G] 15 miles [D]
away.
_ In a dream [C] I saw [Bm] a [Dm] postman's boy
and I walked [G] in into [D] the sea.
I'd have been happy to die,
but that moment passed by
and [F] I woke to [G] this [D] misery.
_ _ [Bm] And the way things are going,
I don't know how much more I [D] can take. _ _
_ Well, [Bm] I'm no cryin' quitter,
[F#] but how long can [Em] any man wait?
_ _ [A] _
How [Em] long must I wait
_ [A]
till God brings [D] the rain? _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ The rain? _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ The rain. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ The rain. _ _ _
