Intro: G  |  F  |  G 
 
G 
Well, the rain is a-pourin' down in a fury, 
 
And the road is lookin' long, 
 
And the only thing that comes to mind 
 
Is the tune of this sad song. 
F                D        G 
Tune of this sad song! Oh Lord! 
( G  |  F  |  G  |  F  |  G  |  F  |  D  |  G ) 
 
G 
Well, the wind is a-creepin' up my back, 
 
Through the door, through the roof, through the window crack. 
 
Tossin' and a-turnin' all night long 
 
To the rhythm and the sound of a saddened song. 
F        D        G 
Saddened song! Oh Lord! 
( G  |  F  |  G ) 
 

Dobro Solo: 
( G tacit  |  F  |  D  |  G  |  D  |  G ) 
 

In a dream of passion I saw a face 
 
Of a beautiful woman in a terrible place. 
 
She looked at me, and she called for you, 
 
Then she closed her eyes and she sang this tune. 
F         D        G 
Sang this tune! Oh Lord!
