Intro: G     D  G   (2x) 
 
Verse 1: 
G                                  
Rain beatin' down on a midnight moon 
                           C   
Oh baby, I'll be leavin' soon 
         G 
Take me away 
    G                            
The winds are howlin' like an old freight train 
                                 C 
Oh babe these are the winds of change 
         G 
Take me away 
 
Chorus: 
                 C                           
'Cause I've been sittin' on the front porch 
                      G 
Watchin' the world go 'round 
            C               Em                    
Through the eyes of a fool, head like a rock 
   G                 D  D/C  D/B D/A           
My whole world tumbling down 
G                                         
Rain beatin' down on a midnight moon 
                           C  (slide) D7/9 
Oh baby, I'll be leaving soon 
         G                   
Take me away

Verse 2: 
Grass around your ankles in the field before the flood 
You're a rough-cut diamond in the Mississippi mud 
Take me away 
I'm a two-time loser with my guitar and my gun 
You're a mover and a shaker and a lover in the sun 
Take me away 
 
Chorus
