This is my first Tab/Chord chart, so please be nice ♡ ♥
This is nice country waltz in a slow, slanted 3/4 time, emphasis on beat 1.
Strumming once on the down beat, and double strumming on beats 2+ and 3+, thus
creating a "Down, Down-up, Down-up" pattern.
This however is just the Basic pattern and doesn't need to be strictly adhered to.
Here's the song as best as I can discern:

Intro: 
G
(4 measures of just strumming sans lyrics)

Verse 1:
          G               D/F#          Em                C         G  D/F# Em C
Well this town has closed down way too early and there's nothing to do,
       G        D/F#     Em              C              G  D/F# Em C
so I'm drivin' around in circles and I'm thinkin' about you.
D         Ddim7          Em       C
 Today I heard you got a new last name.  
D            Ddim7             Em          C
 Sure didn't know it was gonna hit me this way,
         G    D/F#          Am                D           G   D/F# Em C
And the radio just keeps on playin' all these songs about rain.

             G            D/F#       Em         C               G    D/F# Em C
Now there's all kinds of songs about babies and love that goes right,
         G             D/F#    Em            C           G    D/F# Em C
But for some unknown reasons nobody wants to play them tonight.
D               Ddim7      Em       C
 Hey I hope it's sunny wherever you are,
D                 Ddim7            Em          C
 but that's sure not the picture tonight in my car.
       G          D/F#     Am               D
And it sure ain't easin my pain, all these songs like...

Chorus:

G                           Bm
Rainy Night in Georgia, and Kentucky Rain,
Cmaj7                     G
Here Comes that Rainy Day Feelin Again,
G                       Bm
Blue Eyes Cryin' In The Early Mornin' Rain,
Cmaj7                         Am
They go on and on and there's no two the same.
    Amin7              D                           G    D/F# Em C Am (pause)
Oh it would be easy to blame all these songs about rain.


Verse 2:

       G              D/F#    Em          C         G   D/F# Em C
Well I thought I was over you but I guess maybe I'm not,
             G         D/F#           Em        C         G   D/F# Em C
'Cause when I let you go, looks like lonely is all that I got.
D           Ddim7      Em              C
 Guess I'll never know what could have been.
D           Ddim7         Em           C
 Sure ain't helpin' this mood that I'm in,
   G             D/F#    Am         D
If they're gonna keep on playin' me songs like...

Chorus:

G                           Bm
Rainy Night in Georgia, and Kentucky Rain,
Cmaj7                     G
Here Comes that Rainy Day Feelin Again,
G                       Bm
Blue Eyes Cryin' In The Early Mornin' Rain,
Cmaj7                     Am
They go on and on there's no two the same.
Amin7                 D                           G 
Oh how I wish I could blame all these songs about rain.
