(verse 1) C5 G5 C5 F5 Seven lonely days, and a dozen towns ago, C5 F5 C5 - C5 I reached out one night and you were gone, F5 G5 I don't know why you'd run, C5 A5 - D5 what you're running to or from , G5 all I know is I want to bring you home, (verse 2) C5 G5 - C5 So I'm walking in the rain, F5 C5 F5 C5 C5 Thumbing for a ride, on this lonely Kentucky back road, F5 G5 I've loved you much too long, C5 A5 My loves too strong, D5 G5 To let you go never knowing what went wrong, D5 C5 - B5 Kentucky rain keeps pouring down, E5 A5 - G5 And up aheads another town, F5 E5 F5 C5 That I'll go walking through, C5 E5 A5 F5 - G5 With the rain in my shoes, searching for you, C5 - E5 In the cold Kentucky rain, F5 G5 C5 In the cold Kentucky rain, (verse 3) Showed your photograph, To some old gray bearded men, Sitting on a bench outside a general store, They said yes, she's been here, But their memory wasn't clear, was it yesterday, No wait, the day before. (verse 4) Finally got a ride with a preacher man, Who asked where you bound for, On such a cold dark afternoon, As we drove on through the rain, As he listened, I explained, and he left me, With a prayer that I'd find you. (Chorus) D5 C5 - B5 Kentucky rain keeps pouring down, E5 A5 - G5 And up aheads another town, F5 E5 F5 C5 That I'll go walking through, C5 E5 A5 F5 - G5 With the rain in my shoes, searching for you, C5 - E5 In the cold Kentucky rain, F5 G5 C5 In the cold Kentucky rain,
