(verse 1) 
C            G7           C           F 
Seven lonely days, and a dozen towns ago,  
   C               F                   C - C7 
I reached out one night and you were gone, 
   F                    G7  
I don't know why you'd run, 
              C           Am7 - D7  
what you're running to or from , 
                                   G7 
all I know is I want to bring you home, 
 
(verse 2) 
C                      G7 - C 
So I'm walking in the rain, 
                F               C    F        C        C7 
Thumbing for a ride, on this lonely Kentucky back road, 
      F                  G7  
I've loved you much too long, 
C             Am7 
My loves too strong, 
   D7                                   G7  
To let you go never knowing what went wrong, 
 

D                            C - Bm 
Kentucky rain keeps pouring down, 
Em7                   Am7 - G7  
And up aheads another town, 
      F   Em7  F       C 
That I'll go walking through, 
          C          Em7    Am7           F - G7  
With the rain in my shoes, searching for you, 
                      C - Em7 
In the cold Kentucky rain, 
F      G7             C 
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) 
D                            C - Bm 
Kentucky rain keeps pouring down, 
Em7                   Am7 - G7  
And up aheads another town, 
      F   Em7  F       C 
That I'll go walking through, 
          C          Em7    Am7           F - G7  
With the rain in my shoes, searching for you, 
                      C - Em7 
In the cold Kentucky rain, 
F      G7             C 
In the cold Kentucky rain,
